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.
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?
In addition to this proposal, TSOs will submit to ACER their proposal for amending the HAR provisions on collaterals by 1 June 2023.
ACER will decide on both proposals for amending the rules in a single procedure, by 27 October 2023.
ACER will launch a public consultation (in June 2023) on the amendments to the HAR for long-term electricity transmission rights following the submission of the amendment proposal concerning collaterals.
