ACER and ENTSOG organise second joint workshop on Gas Balancing in Warsaw

14/10/2016

On 9 November (10.00-16.30), ACER and the European Network of Transport System Operators for Gas (ENTSOG) will organise their second joint workshop on the Gas Balancing Network code implementation. The event will be held in Warsaw at the premises of URE, the Polish National Regulatory Authority at Al. Jerozolimskie 181.  

This year the full day workshop covers four thematic sessions: planning national implementation, information provision, daily imbalance charges and neutrality. 

The workshop will provide an opportunity to discuss the implementation practices and how daily imbalance charges are moving to a locally based reference price. National regulators, transmission system operators and network users are encouraged to join the event. Speakers will include representatives from ACER, ENTSOG, EFET, national regulators and transmission system operators. 

The aim of the workshop is to foster the knowledge sharing across the Member states and to support implementation and the development of best practices. It is highly recommended for countries facing implementation challenges. 

To participate at the event please register here. Registration will finish by 5pm on 7 November 2016.

The draft agenda for the workshop is available here.

Balancing

What is it about?

network

ACER monitors the effective implementation of the Gas Balancing Net​work Code​ and shares its findings in dedicated reports. Most reports used an enhanced review of the country assessments for all or a large subset of balancing zones, focusing on key features of the balancing design.

What are the main findings?

Interim measures have been terminated in most countries and Code implementation has reached a high degree across Europe, with a few exceptions due to structural market limitations.

What does ACER say?

ACER recommends to increase transparency on information provision, also beyond the minimum requirements, and to explore possible efficiency gains (e.g. via balancing zone mergers) to overcome the persisting structural market limitations that do not allow full code implementation.

What is the Balancing Analytical Framework and how it can serve monitoring?

The Balancing Analytical Framework builds on analysing neutrality as a key indicator to understand robust gas accounting and wider regime performance. The Balancing Analytical Framework serves as a quantitative comparison tool, to quantify whether the role of the TSO is residual in balancing or whether network users play an active role, while shedding light on imbalance price differences and neutrality accounting. The framework facilitates comparisons between various balancing regimes in the European Union. The data used in the analysis was provided by ENTSOG and complemented and validated by the Agency. ​

Workshops

​To facilitate the discussion and sharing of best practices on the Code's implementation, a series of workshops was organised. These debates included inputs from the Agency, ENTSOG and representatives of the network user community.​​​​

Consultation on amended statutory documents of ENTSO-E

Consultation on amended statutory documents of ENTSO-E

Notice of 12 April 2021

The Agency has been informed by the European Commission that the proposed changes to the Articles of Association and other statutory documents of ENTSO-E would still need to be further adapted, inter alia in light of the obligations stemming from the Trade and Cooperation Agreement with the UK, and which would therefore require a resubmission of the afore-mentioned ENTSO-E documents.

For reasons of procedural efficiency, the Agency has therefore decided to halt its proceedings on the proposed changes to ENTSO-E's Articles of Association and other statutory documents.

Any comments which the Agency has meanwhile received in the course of the current proceedings will be taken into account when the Agency will examine the finalised proposal of statutory documents, once the above-mentioned further implementing measures have been taken, and to the extent that they will remain relevant in light of the possible additional changes made to the documents submitted. In case relevant changes would be made to any of the statutory documents consulted, the Agency will allow for a new consultation, so as to enable additional comments to the Agency.

Original consultation of 25 March

ACER consults on amended statutory documents of ENTSO-E,  in accordance with Article 29 of Regulation (EU) 2019/943 of 5 June 2019 on the internal market for electricity. 

This consultation is addressed to the organisations representing all stakeholders, in particular system users, including consumers.

Replies to this consultation should be submitted to ACER by 12 April 2021, 09:00 hrs (CET).
