The EU Agency for the Cooperation of Energy Regulators (ACER) has reached a decision on the proposals for a market-based cross-border capacity allocation process in the Baltic and Core regions.
In February 2021, the national regulatory authorities for energy from both regions have asked ACER to decide on the respective methodologies.
The Core region includes 13 countries: Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Croatia, France, Germany, Hungary, Luxemburg, the Netherlands, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia.
The Baltic region comprises of 6 countries: Estonia, Finland, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland and Sweden.
Two further proposals (submitted on a voluntary basis), respectively on the market-based cross-border capacity allocation process in the Hansa capacity calculation region (CCR) and on the regional cross-border capacity allocation process based on economic efficiency in the Core CCR, were withdrawn from the respective transmission system operators (TSOs). Therefore, ACER will not take any decision on these two methodologies.
