Article 74
1. No later than 16 months after the decision on the capacity calculation regions is taken, all TSOs in each capacity calculation region shall develop a proposal for a common methodology for redispatching and countertrading cost sharing. 2. The redispatching and countertrading cost sharing methodology shall include cost-sharing solutions for actions of cross-border relevance. 3. Redispatching and countertrading costs eligible for cost sharing between relevant TSOs shall be determined in a transparent and auditable manner. 4. The redispatching and countertrading cost sharing methodology shall at least: (a) determine which costs incurred from using remedial actions, for which costs have been considered in the capacity calculation and where a common framework on the use of such actions has been established, are eligible for sharing between all the TSOs of a capacity calculation region in accordance with the capacity calculation methodology set out in Articles 20 and 21; (b) define which costs incurred from using redispatching or countertrading to guarantee the firmness of cross-zonal capacity are eligible for sharing between all the TSOs of a capacity calculation region in accordance with the capacity calculation methodology set out in Articles 20 and 21; (c) set rules for region-wide cost sharing as determined in accordance with points (a) and (b). 5. The methodology developed in accordance with paragraph 1 shall include: (a) a mechanism to verify the actual need for redispatching or countertrading between the TSOs involved; (b) an ex post mechanism to monitor the use of remedial actions with costs; (c) a mechanism to assess the impact of the remedial actions, based on operational security and economic criteria; (d) a process allowing improvement of the remedial actions; (e) a process allowing monitoring of each capacity calculation region by the competent regulatory authorities. 6. The methodology developed in accordance with paragraph 1 shall also: (a) provide incentives to manage congestion, including remedial actions and incentives to invest effectively; (b) be consistent with the responsibilities and liabilities of the TSOs involved; (c) ensure a fair distribution of costs and benefits between the TSOs involved; (d) be consistent with other related mechanisms, including at least: (i) the methodology for sharing congestion income set out in Article 73; (ii) the inter-TSO compensation mechanism, as set out in Article 13 of Regulation (EC) No 714/2009 and Commission Regulation (EU) No 838/2010 ( 5 ) ; (e) facilitate the efficient long-term development and operation of the pan-European interconnected system and the efficient operation of the pan-European electricity market; (f) facilitate adherence to the general principles of congestion management as set out in Article 16 of Regulation (EC) No 714/2009; (g) allow reasonable financial planning; (h) be compatible across the day-ahead and intraday market time-frames; and (i) comply with the principles of transparency and non-discrimination. 7.
