On 1 March 2023, Transmission System Operators (TSOs) submitted to ACER their proposal for amendments to the Harmonised Allocation Rules (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.
Why change the rules?
Amending the rules is necessary to implement a flow-based allocation of long-term electricity 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 electricity 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?
To make an informed decision, ACER is running a public consultation from 29 August to 26 September 2023.
On 5 September 2023, ACER will organise a workshop to present the public consultation and answer stakeholders' questions on the topic. Register here.
ACER will decide on both proposals for amending the rules in a single procedure by the end of 2023.
