Regulators seek more time to decide on the amendment to the Core intraday capacity calculation methodology
What is it about?
On 17 July 2026, the national regulatory authorities of the Core capacity calculation region (Core NRAs) asked ACER for a three-month extension to decide on the proposal to amend the Core intraday capacity calculation methodology. The proposal was submitted by the transmission system operators of the Core region (Core TSOs).
The Core region is the EU’s largest electricity capacity calculation region, covering 13 Member States: Austria, Belgium, Croatia, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Hungary, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Poland, Romania, Slovakia and Slovenia.
ACER intends to ensure a timely decision on the matter.
What is the Core intraday capacity calculation methodology?
The methodology determines how much cross-zonal transmission capacity is available for intraday electricity trading in the Core region.
First approved in 2020, the methodology would now be amended for the sixth time to reflect the continued development of capacity calculation and support EU electricity market integration through more efficient and secure allocation of cross-zonal capacity.
