ENTSOG Implementation and Effect Monitoring Report 2017 - Capacity Allocation Mechanism Network Code

3 Additional Information on Capacity Booking Platforms The implementation of the NC CAM provisions involves the auctioning of bundled capacity products at all IPs within the European Union, except where implicit allocation applies (Baltic states). To be CAM NC-compliant, all auctions should follow the rules specified in the Network Code. Auctions are run on booking platforms, which enable network users to book capacity for IPs connecting market areas, based on the choice of the respective TSOs about which platform to use.

In the European Union, three different booking platforms (BPs) have been established: PRISMA, GAZ-SYSTEM Auction Platform (GSA) and the Regional Booking Platform (RBP).

As of January 2018, all relevant TSOs are connected to a booking platform.

There are only two IPs for which no agreement on a booking platform has been reached so far. They are at the German-Polish border.
