ACER And ENTSOG Propose Solutions For Increased Flexibility To Book Firm Gas Capacity At Interconnection Points

Date 31/05/2023

ACER and the European Network of Transmission System Operators for Gas (ENTSOG) have published a series of proposals to address the issue raised by the European Federation of Energy Traders (EFET) on enhancing the  availability of firm gas capacity at interconnection points (IPs).

What are the next steps?
