As required by  Regulation (EC) 715/2009 (Incl: Amendments) the Transmission system operator shall make public information on technical, contracted and available capacities on a numerical basis for all relevant points including entry and exit points on a regular and rolling basis and in a user-friendly standardised manner.

Data can be accessed via the menu items on the left.


The standardised data table below references the relevant sections in chapter 3 of Annex 1 in Regulation (EC) 715/2009 and provides links to the relevant published information.

Information to be published at all relevant points and the time schedule according to which this information should be published

 
3.3.1

At all relevant points, transmission system operators shall publish the information as listed in paragraphs (a) to (g), for all services and ancillary services provided (in particular information on blending, ballasting and conversion). This information shall be published on a numerical basis, in hourly or daily periods, equal to the smallest reference period for capacity booking and (re-)nomination and the smallest settlement period for which imbalance charges are calculated. If the smallest reference period is different from a daily period, information as listed in paragraphs (a) to (g) shall be made available also for the daily period. This information and updates shall be published as soon as available to the system operator (‘near real time’).
