Pursuant to Article 16(8) of Regulation (EU) 2019/943 of the European Parliament and the Council of 5 June 2019 on the internal market for electricity, transmission system operators must not limit the volume of interconnection capacity to be made available to market participants as a means of solving congestion inside their own bidding zone or as a means of managing flows resulting from transactions within their bidding zone. For borders using a coordinated net transmission capacity approach, the minimum capacity is 70% of the transmission capacity respecting operational security limits, after the deduction of contingencies is taken into account.
The corresponding measure for transmission system operators where the margin available for cross-border electricity trade must be at least 70%, using a coordinated net transmission capacity approach, applies from 1 January 2020. A more detailed overview of the margin available for cross-border electricity trade in the Baltic states last year is available in the report.
