Intraday Belgium
Intraday
In the second half of May 2009 TenneT and Elia, the TSO's of the Netherlands and Belgium respectively, will start a so called intraday cross border capacity allocation on the border between the two countries. As a result the participants in this intraday capacity allocation are from that moment on in the position to obtain cross border capacity on the day of execution and thus are able to do cross border transactions close to real time.
Some specifics of the capacity allocation
On behalf of the TSOs involved Elia will act as “joint allocation operator”, and in that respect allocate the available intra day capacity using a so called "iterative pro rata" mechanism. This mechanism will be executed at 6 "Gates" during the day. Possibly the number of Gates can be extended to 12 in the future.
No nomination obligation will apply but in case capacity obtained is not used it will go back to the TSOs again at the first gate to follow (use it or lose it principle). Additional information in relation to this subject is to be found on the common web pages. This pages can be found following the next link:
