The EU Agency for the Cooperation of Energy Regulators (ACER) has accepted the request for an extension submitted by the National Regulatory Authorities (NRAs) for Energy of Austria and the Czech Republic on a gas project proposal for incremental transmission capacity between the two countries. In its decision, the Agency allows those regulatory authorities to reach an agreement on the project proposal by 5 November 2021.
Incremental capacity projects aim to expand network capacity by allowing market players to commit to buying incremental capacity, therefore demonstrating the economic viability of the projects. The gas transmission system operators (TSOs) prepare the incremental capacity project proposal, which needs to be approved by the relevant regulatory authorities before a binding auction can be organised for the capacity.
