CALENDAR YEAR 2017
Purple boxes:
The calendar year 2017 includes two
out of the three ADs of the TAR NC, namely: (1) 6 April
2017 (entry into force date, ‘AD 1’) for Chapter I ‘Gen-
eral provisions’, Chapter V ‘Pricing of bundled capaci-
ty and capacity at VIPs’, Chapter VII ‘Consultation re-
quirements’, Chapter IX ‘Incremental capacity’ and
Chapter X ‘Final and transitional provisions’; and (2)
1 October 2017 (explicitly mentioned in the TAR NC,
‘AD 2’) for Chapter VI ‘Clearing and payable price’ and
Chapter VIII ‘Publication requirements’.
Orange box:
Within 1 month as from AD 1, the TSOs
are obliged to send to the NRA the existing contracts
or information on capacity bookings eligible for grand-
fathering under the TAR NC, which foresee no change
of the level of capacity- and/or commodity-based
transmission tariffs, except for indexation, if any
(Article 35(3) of the TAR NC).
Blue box:
By 5 July 2017, ACER is obliged to make
available to TSOs and NRAs a template for the consul-
tation document per Article 26(1), after having
consulted ENTSOG (Article 26(5) of the TAR NC).
Grey boxes:
As explained in Part 1, Chapter VIII ‘Pub-
lication requirements’, AD 2 for the TAR NC Chapter
VIII ‘Publication requirements’ does not mean that the
tariffs will be published at this date
1)
. The first compli-
ance with the obligation in the TAR NC Chapter VIII
‘Publication requirements’ will be for MSs with tariff
period January-December, for publication of the set of
information before the tariff period, on TSO/NRA web-
site, as decided by the NRA (Article 30 of the TAR
NC). Simultaneously, a link to such information will be
provided on ENTSOG’s TP and also, the flow-based
charge (if applied) and simulation of all the costs for
flowing 1 GWh/day/year will be published directly on
ENTSOG’s TP in a standardised table, for IPs only by
default. Tariffs will be derived following the ‘old’ RPM
as the requirement for the ‘new’ RPM is only applica-
ble as of AD 3 of 31 May 2019.
1) See Part 1, Chapter VIII ‘Publication requirements’, ‘When to publish’,
‘Article 31 – Publication notice period’.
