Europex welcomes the opportunity to respond to the Commission’s consultation on the revision of the CAM NC.
We broadly support the proposed revision, particularly the introduction of additional capacity auctions, advance monthly booking opportunities and the new balance of the month product. These changes should provide market participants with greater flexibility and facilitate more efficient use of transmission capacity. We also call for greater transparency in capacity calculation, predictable auction arrangements and the preservation of existing implicit capacity allocation mechanisms. In addition, we emphasise the importance of stakeholder consultation when adjusting technical auction parameters and a realistic implementation timeline that allows TSOs and booking platforms sufficient time to prepare.
Overall, the revision represents a positive step towards more flexible and efficient gas capacity allocation, while maintaining market liquidity and regulatory predictability.
