ENTSOG Tariff NC - Implementation Document 2nd Edition

‘ Which point is concerned ’: ‘Broader scope’ rules apply at all points. The application of ‘limited scope’ rules depends on the type of point: (1) at IPs, such application is ‘by default’ as foreseen by the TAR NC; (2) at points with third countries where the NRA decides to apply the CAM NC, such application is ‘automatic’ and does not require additional decision as foreseen by the TAR NC; (3) at other points, such application is possible according to national decision per ENTSOG assumption. Based on Article 2(1), Figure 3 explains the difference of different TAR NC rules ap- plication based on which point on the transmission network it is. The red lines stand for the application of the ‘broader scope’ rules, while the yellow lines represent the application of ‘limited scope’ rules. Figure 3 also shows which connections are explicit (solid lines) in the TAR NC and which ones are based on ENTSOG’s assump- tions (dashed lines). This Figure shows such a distinction from the perspective of which points on the transmission network is concerned. Further to stakeholder feedback, ENTSOG notes that the possible extension of Chapter V ‘Pricing of bundled capacity and capacity at VIPs’ to non-IPs other than points with third countries may not be practical due to the ‘cross-border’ nature of the concepts of bundled capacity and a VIP  1) .

 1) Article 3(12) of the CAM NC defines ‘bundled capacity’ as ‘a standard capacity product offered on a firm basis which consists of corresponding entry and exit capacity at both sides of every interconnection point’; Article 3(23) of the CAM NC defines a VIP as ‘two or more interconnection points which connect the same two adjacent entry-exit systems, integrated together for the purposes of providing a single capacity service’.
