ENTSOG Annual Report 2015

One obstacle for TSOs regarding the imple-

mentation of CAMNC is the necessity of offer-

ing all their bundled capacity at one IP on one

capacity platform. Some TSOs were not able to

reach an agreement on which capacity book-

ing platform to use. Other TSOs have applied

interim measures from BAL NC wherin certain

provisions of CAM NC are not applicable such

as the introduction of over-nomination proce-

dures or the offer of within-day interruptible ca-

pacity. Other TSOs face delays since their auc-

tion platform is not yet equipped to deal with

competing capacity situations where they com-

pete with adjacent TSOs at one or more IPs in

offering capacity.

Moreover, it is not currently possible to apply

all articles of CAM NC at some IPs where their

technical capacity has been booked in advance

on a long-term basis. Hence, no auctions can

take place and it is not possible to bundle the

available capacity for neighbouring TSOs.

REPORT ON IMPLEMENTATION OF CMP

The guidelines for Congestion Management Procedures (CMP) were developed by the

European Commission in 2010–2011 and approved by the EU Gas Committee on 24 August

2012 as the Commission Decision on amending Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 715/2009. The

implementation date was 1 October 2013.

Under Article 8 (8) of the Gas Regulation,

ENTSOG monitors the implementation of the

CMP guidelines. ENTSOG launched its annual

monitoring process in December 2015 to

ensure the timely publication of results in the

2016 Annual Report.

For the implementation monitoring of Conges-

tion Management Procedures the same ques-

tionnaire was used as in the previous year and

was only updated for those TSOs that had not

yet fully implemented all mandatory measures

according to last year’s report.

Not applicable, as regards scope, implementation date or derogation under Article 49 of Gas Directive

Not implemented

1) The firm day-ahead UIOLI mechanism should be implemented by 1 July 2016, where ACER’s congestion monitoring report shows that there is excessive demand for firm capacity products

offered in the next three years or where no firm capacity is offered at all.

2) The derogation has been granted for 5 countries, nonetheless one of the TSOs in these Member States, (Amber Grid, Lithuania), implemented the CMP measures during 2015.
