Figure 28: A concept of the VIP

According to the Amended CAM NC, where more than one IP connects two adjacent entry-exit systems, the TSOs involved must establish a VIP no later than 1 Novem- ber 2018. When establishing a VIP, TSOs must ensure that its total technical capacity is equal to or higher than the sum of the technical capacities at each of the IPs contributing to the VIP. Additionally, the VIP must facilitate economic and efficient use of the system.

 1) The VIP definition in the Amended CAM NC is equivalent to the VIP definition in the Old CAM NC.
