26/07/2022
Within the work program of the South Gas Regional Initiative (SGRI), a public consultation was launched on a proposal from the Portuguese and Spanish transmission system operators (TSOs) for the coordinated implementation of the allocation of interruptible capacity at the Virtual Interconnection point (VIP Ibérico).
Transmission system operators of Portugal and Spain presented a proposal for a coordinated implementation of interruptible capacity allocation, to ensure harmonization at VIP Ibérico. This project integrates the work plan of the Regional Initiative, which aims to promote the regional gas market integration and harmonization.
Regulation (EU) 2017/459, on capacity allocation mechanisms at interconnections, in its art. 32nd establishes that «Transmission system operators shall offer a daily capacity product for interruptible capacity in both directions at interconnection points where the respective standard capacity product for firm capacity was sold out day-ahead or was not offered.»
The consultation is available at ACER – Agency for the Cooperation of Energy Regulators’ website.Contributions on the Public Consultation may be sent until 29 August 2022.
