Article 77
1. The proposal of all TSOs of a capacity calculation region for common provisions for regional operational security coordination pursuant to Article 76(1) shall also include common provisions concerning the organisation of regional operational security coordination, including at least: (a) the appointment of the regional security coordinator(s) that will perform the tasks in paragraph 3 for that capacity calculation region; (b) rules concerning the governance and operation of regional security coordinator(s), ensuring equitable treatment of all member TSOs; (c) where the TSOs propose to appoint more than one regional security coordinator in accordance with subparagraph (a): (i) a proposal for a coherent allocation of the tasks between the regional security coordinators who will be active in that capacity calculation region. The proposal shall take full account of the need to coordinate the different tasks allocated to the regional security coordinators; (ii) an assessment demonstrating that the proposed setup of regional security coordinators and allocation of tasks is efficient, effective and consistent with the regional coordinated capacity calculation established pursuant to Articles 20 and 21 of Regulation (EU) 2015/1222; (iii) an effective coordination and decision making process to resolve conflicting positions between regional security coordinators within the capacity calculation region. 2. When developing the proposal for common provisions concerning the organisation of regional operational security coordination in paragraph 1, the following requirements shall be met: (a) each TSO shall be covered by at least one regional security coordinator; (b) all TSOs shall ensure that the total number of regional security coordinators across the Union is not higher than six. 3. The TSOs of each capacity calculation region shall propose the delegation of the following tasks in accordance with paragraph 1: (a) regional operational security coordination in accordance with Article 78 in order to support TSOs fulfil their obligations for the year-ahead, day-ahead and intraday time-frames in Article 34(3) and Articles 72 and 74; (b) building of common grid model in accordance with Article 79; (c) regional outage coordination in accordance with Article 80, in order to support TSOs fulfil their obligations in Articles 98 and 100; (d) regional adequacy assessment in accordance with Article 81 in order to support TSOs fulfil their obligations under Article 107. 4. In executing its tasks, a regional security coordinator shall take account of data covering at least all capacity calculation regions for which it has been allocated tasks, including the observability areas of all TSOs in those capacity calculation regions.. 5. All regional security coordinators shall coordinate the execution of their tasks in order to facilitate the fulfilment of the objectives of this Regulation. All regional security coordinators shall ensure the harmonization of processes and, where duplication is not justified by reasons of efficiency or by the need to ensure continuity of service, the creation of joint tools to ensure efficient cooperation and coordination between the regional security coordinators.
