Monthly capacity

Elia has introduced interconnection capacity allocation mechanisms for transnational energy exchanges. These mechanisms satisfy market demand in a transparent and non-discriminatory manner.

Capacity calculation and allocation methods (in French)

Monthly capacity is allocated by means of explicit auctions. At these auctions, the ARP can set the price for importing or exporting a certain volume of power (in MW) at a specific bidding zone border for each hour of the year or month in question by acquiring long-term transmission rights.

Joint Allocation Office (JAO)

See the Joint Allocation Office (JAO) website for information on methodology changes and operational situations, which is regarded as inside information in connection with these allocation mechanisms (specifically flow-based market coupling and intraday available transfer capacity (ATC) after flow-based market coupling).

Disclaimer

Joint auction rules for the allocation of capacity across borders within the CWE (Central West Europe) region were implemented on 1 November 2009, as agreed between the seven transmission system operators active in the CWE region. The auctions are organised by JAO.EU, an auction office. Auctions are organised to allocate yearly capacity across Belgium's borders. Long-term (yearly, quarterly, monthly and weekly) capacity is calculated using an NTC-based method.
