Market Demand Survey


COMMENCEMENT OF THE INCREMENTAL CAPACITY PROCESS PURSUANT TO THE REGULATION (EU) NO. 2017/459 ON ESTABLISHING A NETWORK CODE ON CAPACITY ALLOCATION MECHANISMS IN GAS TRANSMISSION SYSTEMS​

Having in mind the circumstances related to the EU gas supply as stipulated in REPowerEU plan where ENTSOG estimates that an expansion of the capacity of the LNG terminal in Krk will further help mitigating Russian supply dependence, but to reap these benefits, it would be necessary to enhance the Croatian transmission grid towards Slovenia and Hungary.
Therefore, Plinacro informs the interested public that it will commence the incremental capacity process on 5 July 2022, in compliance with chapter V of the Regulation (EU) no. 2017/459, for the incremental capacity:
  1. at the existing interconnection points;
  2. by establishing a new interconnection point;
  3. for the reverse flow at the interconnection point at which the capacity was previously offered in one direction only.
In cooperation with the neighbouring transmission system operators Plinacro will conduct an assessment of market demand for incremental capacity.

In the first phase of the process, from 5 July to 30 August 2022, Plinacro will be collecting non-binding requests for the firm capacity.

For additional information and a questionnaire for the assessment of the non-binding demand for firm capacity on interconnections see the following links: Participants are reminded that a non-binding request for firm capacity on an interconnection has to be submitted to both neighbouring transmission system operators. If two entities plan to submit a request jointly, one on the one side and the other one on the other side of the interconnection point, then the interest should be expressed in a joint request with both neighbouring operators at the interconnection point.

Please be so kind to send the completed forms as well as any additional questions you may have regarding the incremental capacity process to the e-mail address  by 30 August 2022, at the latest. 

In cooperation with the neighbouring transmission system operators Plinacro will publish a Market demand assessment report within 8 weeks upon the market test completion, and by 25.10.2022, at the latest.
