Joint statement of TAP, SRG & DESFA on the 2023
TAP, SRG and DESFA have launched the 2023 Market Test (Incremental Capacity Process) in July 2023, in line with the CAM NC timeline.
The 2023 incremental cycle is a separate process from the second Binding Phase of 2021 Market Test organised by TAP, SRG and DESFA. To mitigate any potential and unintended consequences of the two overlapping market tests, the Interested Parties will be given the opportunity to revise the already submitted 2023 Non-Binding Demand Indications within 2 weeks from the publication of the outcome of the second Binding Phase of the 2021 Market Test (Revision Window), which is expected by 18 January 2024.
TAP, SRG and DESFA, will thereafter give the opportunity to all interested parties to revise their Non-Binding Demand Indications within 2 (two) weeks from the above-mentioned publication. This revision will be possible by submitting the respective revised Non-Binding Demand Indication forms to TAP, SRG and DESFA.
Currently, the Non-Binding Demand Indications received by the TSOs would lead to a Demand Assessment Report (DAR) that concludes on the start of the technical design for an incremental capacity project in the coordinated design phase. The TSOs will proceed to these next steps of the 2023 Market Test, only after the closing of the Revision Window whereby interested parties have the possibility to revise their Non-Binding Demand Indications.
In the light of the above, the TSOs will produce a common DAR for 2023 Incremental Capacity Process, intending to make it publicly available by February 2024.
