‘
Which point is concerned
’: ‘Broader scope’ rules apply at all points. The application
of ‘limited scope’ rules depends on the type of point: (1) at IPs, such application is
‘by default’ as foreseen by the TAR NC; (2) at points with third countries where the
NRA decides to apply the CAM NC, such application is ‘automatic’ and does not
require additional decision as foreseen by the TAR NC; (3) at other points, such
application is possible according to national decision per ENTSOG assumption.
Based on Article 2(1), Figure 3 explains the difference of different TAR NC rules ap-
plication based on which point on the transmission network it is. The red lines stand
for the application of the ‘broader scope’ rules, while the yellow lines represent the
application of ‘limited scope’ rules. Figure 3 also shows which connections are
explicit (solid lines) in the TAR NC and which ones are based on ENTSOG’s assump-
tions (dashed lines). This Figure shows such a distinction from the perspective of
which points on the transmission network is concerned.
Further to stakeholder feedback, ENTSOG notes that the possible extension of
Chapter V ‘Pricing of bundled capacity and capacity at VIPs’ to non-IPs other than
points with third countries may not be practical due to the ‘cross-border’ nature of
the concepts of bundled capacity and a VIP
1)
.
1) Article 3(12) of the CAM NC defines ‘bundled capacity’ as ‘a standard capacity product offered on a firm basis which
consists of corresponding entry and exit capacity at both sides of every interconnection point’; Article 3(23) of the CAM
NC defines a VIP as ‘two or more interconnection points which connect the same two adjacent entry-exit systems,
integrated together for the purposes of providing a single capacity service’.
