ACER Consults Stakeholders On The “Congestion Indicators” For Gas Interconnection Points

ACER launches today a call for Evidence on the “congestion indicators” included in the European Commission Guidelines on Congestion Management Procedures.

According to this piece of EU legislation, National Regulatory Authorities (NRAs) shall require Transmission System Operators (TSOs) to apply the Firm Day-Ahead Use-It-Or-Loose-It mechanism (FDA UIOLI) at the interconnection points where ACER finds that gas capacity demand exceeded the offer.

However, some stakeholders have expressed doubts on the appropriateness of the current “congestion indicators” to properly detect contractual congestion and on the FDA UIOLI to address such congestion. Thus, the Agency invites stakeholders to propose alternative or additional “congestion indicators” to be used by the Agency in its congestion analysis, and to comment on the FDA UIOLI.
