The Agency published today the fifth edition of the Annual Report on Contractual Congestion at Interconnection Points. Contractual congestion emerges when demand for gas transport capacity at an interconnection point (IP) exceeds the offered capacity. In 2017, such congestion was detected at 17 entry and exit sides across Europe, which is less than 7% of all IP sides.
This Congestion Report includes the list of IP sides at which the Firm-Day-Ahead Use-It-Or-Lose-It (FDA UIOLI) mechanism has to be implemented and applied to make available capacity on a day-ahead basis for the congested IPs. The Report further offers insight into the increasing application of other congestion management procedures at both congested and non-congested IPs.
The list of contractually congested entry and exit sides and statistics on the application of congestion management procedures across the EU in the latest Congestion Report can be found here.
