ACER Workshop: Harmonised allocation rules for long-term electricity transmission rights

What is it about?
What is it about?
ACER's workshop presented the content of ACER public consultation on harmonised allocation rules (HAR) for long-term electricity transmission rights, and answered stakeholders' questions on the topic.
On 1 March 2023, Transmission System Operators (TSOs) submitted to ACER their proposal for amendments to the HAR for long-term electricity transmission rights. In addition to this proposal, TSOs submitted to ACER their proposal for amending the HAR provisions on collaterals on 1 August 2023 (initially planned for 1 June 2023, but delayed due to TSOs conducting a new public consultation on their amendment proposal from 8 June to 8 July 2023).
ACER will decide on both proposals for amending the rules in a single procedure, by the end of 2023
Why change the rules?
Amending the rules is necessary to implement a flow-based allocation of long-term transmission rights, making the long-term market more efficient and aligning it with the day-ahead market design.
The revision of the HAR for long-term transmission rights is needed for implementation of two projects for long-term flow-based capacity calculation and allocation in the Core and the Nordic capacity calculation regions.
What are the next steps?
ACER’s public consultation runs between 29 August and 26 September 2023.
