CAM.3: INCREASE OF MARKET PARTICIPANTS IN A SYSTEM
The importance of this indicator is directly
related to the facilitation that CAM NC is trying to
provide to network users to access different
European markets (due to the harmonisation of
capacity allocation rules).
The indicator CAM.3 shows an important
increase of both, “all participants” and “active
participants” in the European market.
\\
Number of all participants: this indicator
has increased from gas year 2014/2015 to
gas year 2015/2016 in almost 350 new
network users approved in European sys-
tems to participate in the gas market. This
means an increase of 15% in one year.
Nevertheless, even if it is interesting to
check this value, this indicator only shows
new participants that can act in the market,
but in a significant number of occasions,
new participants will not participate in the
market, and only register themselves for
potential future opportunities.
\\
Number of active participants: the increase
of this indicator is even clearer, since the
number of active participants in European
markets has increased by 31% compared
to the previous year. In other words, there
are 220 new network users that are now
active on the European market.
Since one of the goals of CAM NC is to facil-
itate the access to new network users so
that they can actually become active on the
European gas market, this indicator is more
appropriate than the number of all partici-
pants.
