ENTSOG CAM NC Monitoring Report 2016

CAM.3: INCREASE OF MARKET PARTICIPANTS IN A SYSTEM

The importance of this indicator is directly related to the facilitation that CAM NC is trying to provide to network users to access different European markets (due to the harmonisation of capacity allocation rules). The indicator CAM.3 shows an important increase of both, “all participants” and “active participants” in the European market. \\ Number of all participants: this indicator has increased from gas year 2014/2015 to gas year 2015/2016 in almost 350 new network users approved in European sys- tems to participate in the gas market. This means an increase of 15% in one year. Nevertheless, even if it is interesting to check this value, this indicator only shows new participants that can act in the market, but in a significant number of occasions, new participants will not participate in the market, and only register themselves for potential future opportunities.

\\ Number of active participants: the increase of this indicator is even clearer, since the number of active participants in European markets has increased by 31% compared to the previous year. In other words, there are 220 new network users that are now active on the European market. Since one of the goals of CAM NC is to facil- itate the access to new network users so that they can actually become active on the European gas market, this indicator is more appropriate than the number of all partici- pants.
