Invitation to respond to the public consultations on the Terms, Conditions and Methodologies on Cross-Zonal Capacity Calculation, Provision and Allocation within the Baltic States and with the 3rd Countries

Baltic TSOs –  AB Litgrid, AS „Augstsprieguma tīkls” and AS Elering would like to draw attention and invite the Baltic Electricity market participants to participate in the Baltic TSOs’ launched Public consultation regarding the "Terms, Conditions and Methodologies on Cross-Zonal Capacity Calculation, Provision and Allocation within the Baltic States and with the 3rd Countries” (hereinafter –Rules). The Rules will apply for capacity calculation and allocation within Baltic States and with 3rd Countries, subject to relevant NRA(s) approval. 
 
The reasons for the review of the currently effective Rules were the expected commencement of operation in the beginning of 2016 of two new Baltic linking interconnections – connecting Lithuania with Sweden (NordBalt) and Lithuania-Poland (LitPol Link) and expected entering into force of European Commission’s “Regulation establishing a Guideline on Capacity Allocation and Congestion Management”.
 
Further information related to Public consultation and the draft Rules you can find here.  You can find further information in the websites of AS „Augstsprieguma tīkls” and AS Elering as well.
 
Once passing the Public consultation and approved by NRA(s), the Rules will be the applicable set of rules for capacity calculation and allocation within Baltic States and with 3rd Countries from 1st of January 2016 and beyond.
