09/04/2025 (Agence Europe) – In its report on gas transmission tariffs in Germany to the German national regulatory authority (NRA) BNetzA, ACER called on Monday 7 April for greater clarity, particularly on how reduced tariffs for conditional products are calculated. ACER’s report assesses that the proposed Reference Pricing Methodology (RPM) complies with the requirements of the NC TAR network code in terms of transparency, non-discrimination and volume risk. However, due to the lack of information on regional networks, ACER was unable to assess the compliance of the proposed tariffs with the principles of “reflecting costs, avoiding cross-subsidies and preventing cross-border trade distortions”. It therefore also recommends that the NRA assess the regional networks and allocate their costs in a manner consistent with EU rules. To see the report, go to https://aeur.eu/f/gco (PLD)
