2.2.4 Allocation Methodology

For 14 IP sides, it was mentioned that this Article was not applicable since only interruptible capacity or reverse flow capacity is offered (98 IP sides), or the IPs are within a net- work of two TSOs (six IP sides).

Article 8(1)

At four IP sides, another method is used for allocating capac- ity other than an auction. At two of the four IP sides, an allo- cation mechanism is foreseen in the national regulation that is accordance with CAM NC (auction on BP). However, the mechanism is currently not applicable since no capacity is available due to historical contracts that will apply until 2023. At two other of the four IP sides, the pro-rata allocation system is used for long-term capacity with a duration longer than one year, while capacity with a duration less than one year is allo- cated based on the ‘first committed, first served‘ principle. However, the Member State of the TSO operating these IP sides has been granted derogation. At two IP sides, CAM NC auctions will be applied in the first quarter of 2017. At five IP sides non-standard implementa- tion of the Article has been applied, therefore these sides are recorded as Article Not Implemented. Only two IP sides were not able to provide any specific date since the TSOs’ Member States have been granted derogation.

For four IP sides, no answer was delivered.

At 47 IP sides, other parameters have been jointly assessed with adjacent TSOs. The parameters are:

\\ Assumptions from national investment plans, ENTSOG TYNDP, relevant obligations under applicable national laws and any relevant contractual obligations

\\ Technical capacity levels and identification of possible discrepancies

\\ Booked capacity levels

\\ Capacity offered at other points of the concerned systems

\\ Potential capacity maximisation through flow commitments and nomination procedures

Article 8(9)

\\ Available capacities per typologies and related time- horizon

At all 326 IP sides, the percentage of capacity that is set aside and offered corresponds to the levels as stated in Article 8(7).

\\ Expected offered capacity via congestion management measures

2.2.5 Standard Capacity Products

\\ Climatic conditions of capacity calculation

Article (9)

\\ Special operation conditions in other relevant points of system

At 321 IP sides, only standard capacity types are offered by TSOs.

\\ Any other information made available by Network Users

Non-standard capacity products are marketed at only two IP sides. In these cases, yearly capacity products start on 1 Jan- uary of each year. The Member States of the TSO offering these products is granted derogation and consequently the TSO does not need to apply the provision as foreseen in CAM NC. At five IP sides non-standard implementation of the Article has been applied, therefore these sides are recorded as Article Not Implemented. In addition to the standard products on offer, one TSO offered one non-standard none month product starting on 1 January 2017 at one IP side.

\\ Impact of maintenance program

\\ Pressure at border/pressure at certain points of network

\\ Supply/offtake pressure

\\ Compressor stations operating envelope

\\ Gas quality parameters

\\ Parameters according to Interconnection Agreement

\\ Potential flow commitments and nominations procedures

\\ Pressure commitments on demand and supply scenarios
