DOCUMENT
Responsibility: consultation on the draft template by ACER with ENTSOG
According to Article 26(5), ACER must develop a template for the consultation
document referred to in Article 26(1). The template is available as of 5 July 2017,
as the TAR NC foresees, on ACER’s website.
ACER has consulted with ENTSOG on the draft consultation template, and ENTSOG’s
response has been published on ENTSOG’s website1). ACER has published the final
consultation template on ACER’s website2) as on online tool for the national consul-
tations per Article 26(1). Such online tool is a communication channel serving
several purposes:
\\Checklist for the consultation requirements listed in Article 26(1);
\\Publication of the final consultation documents summary;
\\Tool for submission of the final consultation documents to ACER.
The summaries mentioned above will be published on ACER’s website and they will
provide to stakeholders a tool for reading across consultations in a systematic
manner.
The template allows the NRA/TSO providing relevant information on the consultation
such as the foreseen calendar for its completion. This information is relevant for the
coordination of the TAR NC implementation and can be submitted as of 5 July 2017.
ENTSOG recommends the use of the online template to TSOs responsible for
carrying out the consultation on the RPM. On its website, ACER recommends the
use of the template to the NRA/TSO carrying out the consultation.
