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 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.
