Market Area Activities in 2015
CAPACITY WORKING GROUP
Capacity Allocation Mechanisms
CAMNC came into effect in November 2013 with an imple-
mentation date of 1 November 2015. In 2015, ENTSOG
voluntarily facilitated the early implementation of CAMNC
via the ACER/ENTSOG CAM Roadmap publication and
related workshop.
In Q4/2015, ENTSOG launched an implementation moni-
toring process for CAMNC. This monitoring is required by
Article 8 (8) of Regulation (EC) No 715/2009. ENTSOG
launched the process in order to ensure timely publication
of results in 2015 Annual Report. In addition to implement-
ing monitoring tasks, ENTSOG has also developed Business
Requirements Specifications for CAMNC.
EFET and ENTSOG began a dialogue process in an ad-hoc
joint work stream. The aim was to identify and resolve poten-
tial issues related to the introduction of capacity bundling
before more long-term bundled products are offered. The is-
sues identified in the dialogue between EFET and ENTSOG
were jointly presented at the XXVII Madrid Forum and wel-
comed by participants. Afterwards, EFET and ENTSOG
opened discussion to all stakeholders including national
regulatory authorities and the European Commission.
As a result of the joint EFET/ENTSOG workshops in 2015,
four issues related to bundling were selected for further
assessment with a view to finding solutions:
\\
Already contracted unbundled capacity and offer
of bundled products only
\\
CMP regulation and its consistent implementation
across IPs
\\
Alignment of secondary marketing of bundled
products
\\
Aligned procedures for the surrender of capacity
In April 2015, ENTSOG asked all interested stakeholders
including ACER, EC and NRAs to contribute. ENTSOG
requested feedback from stakeholders on its proposals
and particularly on the identified issues. In April 2015,
stakeholders were asked to provide feedback through a
consultation tool available on the ENTSOG website (public
consultation phase). They confirmed that the ENTSOG/
EFET work stream addresses the right issues, highlighting
that one of the four discussed issues is the top priority.
ENTSOG invited all interested stakeholders to two public
workshops to discuss the identified issues and potential
options. Two public workshops were held on 20 May 2015
and 30 June 2015 in Brussels. In addition, ENTSOG
organised three preparatory meetings (on 11 May, 3 June
and 25 June) with stakeholder experts in order to prepare
the content of both workshops and propose some solutions.
Through intensive dialogue with its stakeholders (public
consultation, preparatory meetings of stakeholder experts
and stakeholder workshops) on the outlined issues,
ENTSOG gained their support for potential options related to
the second stakeholder workshop held on 30 June. In July
2015, ENTSOG published a recommendation paper on how
the issues may be resolved.
Congestion Management Procedures
ENTSOG commenced monitoring the implementation of
CMP guidelines in December 2014 and published the
results in Annual Report 2014. To ensure timely publication
of results in this Annual Report, ENTSOG launched the
next monitoring process in Q4/2015. This monitoring is re-
quired by Article 8 (8) of Regulation (EC) No 715/2009.
Incremental Capacity work
The ENTSOG incremental proposal consists of two parts:
1) An amendment to CAMNC to establish the process of
offering and allocating incremental capacity
2) Incremental Chapter of TARNC dealing with the finan-
cial regulatory parameters and tariff-related issues of
incremental capacity.
Due to the high level of interrelations, the Incremental Pro-
posal and the TARNC are closely coordinated.
In 2015, the activities of INC AKG covered the ongoing
development of the CAM amendment and TARNC. This in-
cluded working closely with ACER and DG Energy.
