Criteria for NRA consideration
When adopting their decisions, the NRAs must consider the consultation responses
received and the following factors:
1. For multipliers:
–
–
The balance between facilitating short-term gas trade and providing
long-term signals for efficient investment in the transmission system;
–
–
The impact on the transmission services revenue and its recovery;
–
–
The need to avoid cross-subsidisation between network users and to
enhance the cost-reflectivity of reserve prices;
–
–
Physical and contractual congestion;
–
–
Effects on cross-border flows.
2. For seasonal factors:
–
–
Facilitating the economic and efficient utilisation of the infrastructure;
–
–
The need to improve the cost-reflectivity of reserve prices.
Such aspects have been selected as relevant ones based on discussions with
stakeholders within the TAR NC establishment process. ENTSOG has received
feedback through ACER that the NRA may have other considerations to take into
account when adopting a decision on multipliers and seasonal factors. ENTSOG
recognises that the TAR NC sets out only the minimum EU-wide tariff rules and
further details may be laid down at the national level which may also cover other
considerations for the NRA decision-making.
