Gas Tariffs Reports: ACER Recommends That The Danish Regulatory Authority Further Assesses Compliance Of The Tariff Proposed By The TSO

ACER publishes today its second report on the implementation of the European Union Network Code on Harmonised Transmission Tariff Structures for Gas (NC TAR) for the Danish transmission system.

What are ACER’s recommendations?

ACER recommends the national regulatory authority (NRA) to further assess the compliance of the proposed reference price methodology (RPM) with the requirements on cost-reflectivity and cross-subsidisation. The NRA should also assess the proposed non-transmission service and should revise the compliance of the proposed discount to capacity contracted on long-term basis.

ACER additionally provides guidelines on the on-going discussion to merge an upstream pipeline with the Danish transmission network. In particular, the Agency refers to the revenue regulation applicable to transmission assets and to the requirements to allocate these costs to the transmission network’s users.

The Danish NRA shall take a motivated decision on the RPM by 14 May 2022.
