2013/442/EU: Commission Decision of 21 August 2013 on the establishment of the annual priority lists for the development of network codes and guidelines for 2014 Text with EEA relevance

• Articles: 3

Article 1

The Commission establishes for the development of harmonised electricity rules this annual priority list for 2014:

—

capacity allocation and congestion management rules including governance for day-ahead and intraday markets including capacity calculation (Commission adoption phase),

—

network connection rules:

—

rules on requirements for generators (Commission adoption phase)

—

rules on distribution system operator and industrial load connection (Commission adoption phase)

—

rules on high-voltage direct current transmission system connection (finalise network code and start Commission adoption phase),

—

system operation rules  ( 7 ) :

—

rules on operational security (Commission adoption phase)

—

rules on operational planning and scheduling (Commission adoption phase)

—

rules on load-frequency control and reserves (Commission adoption phase)

—

rules on emergency requirements and procedures (finalise network code and start Commission adoption phase),

—

balancing rules including network-related reserve power (Commission adoption phase),

—

rules for longer term (forward) capacity allocation (Commission adoption phase),

—

rules regarding harmonised transmission tariff structures (scoping by ACER to prepare framework guideline  ( 8 ) ).

Article 2

As it is foreseen that harmonised rules on capacity allocation and balancing will be adopted in 2013, the Commission establishes for the development of harmonised gas rules this annual priority list for 2014:

—

interoperability and data exchange rules (Commission adoption phase),

—

rules regarding harmonised transmission tariff structures (ENTSOG drafting network code),

—

rules regarding an EU-wide market-based approach on the allocation of ‘new build’ gas transmission capacity (drafting of amendment of network code on capacity allocation mechanisms by ACER and ENTSOG as well as including respective tariff rules in the network code on transmission tariff structures),

—

rules for trading related to technical and operational provisions of network access services and system balancing (scoping by ACER to identify whether binding EU rules for the further harmonisation of the design of capacity products and contracts as regards firmness, restrictions to allocation or secondary markets are needed, taking into account the implementation of the guideline on congestion management procedures and the network codes on capacity allocation mechanisms and on balancing).

Article 3

This Decision shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union .
