The Agency for the Cooperation of Energy Regulators (ACER) announced, on Tuesday 17 October, that it will launch a public consultation as part of the review of the Capacity Allocation Mechanisms Network Code (‘CAM NC’), which regulates the gas transmission capacity allocation.
Following the global pandemic of 2020 and the European energy crisis of 2022, the European gas market is re-evaluating its market rules, or ‘network codes’, to make them more resilient and align them with the decarbonisation targets set by the European Green Deal.
The Capacity Allocation Mechanisms Network Code, which regulates the allocation of gas transmission capacity, has been in place since 2017 and is therefore being reviewed.
ACER is launching a public consultation from 14 November and is organising a workshop on 12 December to gather feedback from stakeholders and assess the effectiveness of the current rules. Proposed amendments could be recommended in 2024. ACER also plans to publish a policy paper in early 2024 which will be a first input when the formal review of the ‘CAM NC’ may be launched in the course of 2024.
