CALL FOR NON-BINDING PHASE LAUNCH (03.07.2023)
DESFA announces that on the 3rd of July 2023, the Procedure for requesting Incremental Capacity will be launched, under the Chapter V of the Regulation (EU) No. 2017/459 of 16th of March 2017:
(i) at existing interconnection points, and
(ii) by establishing new interconnection points.
To participate in the incremental capacity procedure, interested parties must complete the "Incremental Capacity Request" (word, pdf), and its accompanying attachments (Attachments 1 and 2), and send it via email to market-test@desfa.gr (Subject: Incremental Capacity 2023), by the 28th of August 2023.
The above procedure is generally to be followed also by requests to the competent TSOs. In case of discrepancies encountered between the Capacity Request Forms submitted to different TSOs for the same incremental capacity, DESFA will apply the “lesser of" rule, in order to elaborate the demand assessment report.
It is noted that, TAP, SRG and DESFA have announced (link) their intention to organise a second Binding Phase for the Incremental Capacity Procedure 2021, during the second half of 2023. Consequently, the Demand Assessment Report for the Incremental Capacity Procedure 2023, is intended to be published after the end of the 2021 Incremental Capacity Procedure' s second Binding Phase.
Therefore, interested parties will be given the opportunity to revise the Non-Binding Demand Indications submitted to TAP, SRG and DESFA within two (2) weeks of publication of the Capacity Allocation results in this second Binding Phase.
