The latest European Gas Regulatory Forum has recently emphasised the importance of having gas market rules (also known as “network codes”) which can adequately reflect the evolution and decarbonisation of the European gas market, and prompted for the revision of the Capacity Allocation Mechanisms Network Code (“CAM NC”).
What is the role of ACER?
As a first step, ACER is planning a public consultation (opening on Tuesday 14 November 2023) and workshop (on Tuesday 12 December 2023) to take stock of what works under the current market rules and collect views from stakeholders on the way forward.
ACER will benefit from this information when it may recommend amendments to the CAM NC in the course of 2024.
Save the date on the next steps!
ACER is launching a public consultation on the “Capacity Allocation Mechanisms Network Code: achievements and the way forward”, which will run from Tuesday 14 November 2023 until Friday 5 January 2024.
On Tuesday 12 December 2023, ACER will also organise an online workshop on the same topic. Registrations will open on Tuesday 14 November 2023.
ACER also intends to publish a policy paper, tentatively in the first quarter of 2024, to follow up on any identified areas of improvement. This policy paper will be a first input when the formal review of the CAM NC may be launched in the course of 2024.
