GENERAL PROVISIONS

ARTICLE 17

Responsibility: no implications for TSO/NRA responsibility

General The TAR NC clarifies which rules of this Chapter apply under different regulatory regimes: \\ All the rules of the Chapter apply if a TSO functions only under non-price cap regime. \\ If a TSO functions only under a price cap regime, then only three rules apply: (1) Article 17(2) on addressing a TSO’s risk; (2) Article 17(3) on the possible extension of the scope of the Chapter to non-transmission services; and (3) Article 19(5) on the treatment of the auction premium. The rest of the Chapter does not apply, including the specific terms for ‘revenue reconciliation’, ‘regulatory account’ and ‘under-/over-recovery’. \\ If a TSO functions under a combination of non-price cap and price cap regimes, then the respective rules apply for the respective shares of the TSO assets. Principles of revenue reconciliation For a non-price cap regime, the three principles for revenue reconciliation are: minimising the under-/over-recovery of the transmission services revenue, ensuring that transmission tariffs recover revenues ‘in a timely manner’ , and avoiding significant differences between transmission tariffs in consecutive tariff periods ‘to the extent possible’ . The above principles do not apply when a TSO: (1) functions under a price cap regime; and (2) offers a fixed payable price approach, regardless of the applicable regulatory regime.
