Assessment of the Long-Term Transmission Capacity Requirements
Assessment of the Long-Term Transmission Capacity Requirements according to §17 (German Gas Network Access Ordinance)
The amended version of the German Gasnetzzugangsverordnung (Gas Network Access Ordinance - ‘GasNZV’) as adopted in 2010 added a number of new requirements relating to network expansion and network connection.
Section 17 GasNZV requires gas transmission system operators to assess – by April 1 each year – their long-term market area-wide capacity requirements.
