ENTSOG Tariff NC - Implementation Document 2nd Edition

Chapter III: Timelines for the TAR NC Implementation Depending on the Applied Tariff Period Compared to the general timeline described in Chapter II, which applies throughout the EU, this Chapter deals with timelines customised per applied tariff period   1) . The first four Figures cover the cases where the tariff period is equal to one year: January–December (Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Finland, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Lithuania, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Poland, Slovenia, Spain), April–March (France), July–June (Portugal) and October–September (Denmark, Great Britain, Ireland, Northern Ireland, Romania, Sweden). The last three Figures cover the cases where the tariff period is more than one year: the 5  th timeline covers the situation in Belgium with a four-year tariff period, the 6  th – situation in Austria with a four-year tariff period and the 7  th – situation in Slovakia with a five-year tariff period. Each Figure includes the following boxes shown on the general timeline in Chapter II: different ADs of the TAR NC, annual yearly capacity auctions in July, publication of tariff information before the annual yearly capacity auctions and before the tariff period (including the ‘early compliance’ case), deadlines for information provision from TSOs to ENTSOG. As with the general timeline in Chapter II, for publication requirements each box includes information on whether the respective tariffs are derived in accordance with the ‘new’ or ‘old’ RPM. In addition, each Figure shows the timing for ENTSOG’s preparation of implementation and effect monitoring reports, which does not appear on the general timeline in Chapter II but rather on the respective timeline in Part 1. Also, each Figure includes certain boxes from the general timeline in Chapter II which are deemed useful as a reminder of the timing for the final consultation under Article 26 and consultation under Article 28. These boxes capture the same timings as shown on the general timeline in Chapter II, and include the following: the start of the preparation of the final consultation document under Article 26, the launch and the finish of both consultations and the deadline for NRA decision-making for both consultations. Other boxes associated with the consultation requirements and deadlines for ACER’s reports which are not shown on Figures below are exactly the same as for the general timeline in Chapter II.
