Incremental capacity process 2021-2023

1. Indicative demand assessment This is the non-binding demand assessment phase where market parties can submit their capacity demand to the TSO’s by filling out a demand indication form. In consultation with the neighboring TSO’s, it is decided whether the non-binding demand indication(s) give rise to offering incremental capacity. If so, the next phase of the process will start. In this incremental capacity process this first phase will run from the 5^th of July 2021 until the 30^th of August 2021.
2. Design phase In this phase, technical studies are carried out and a financial assessment is made of the measures to be taken. Together with other TSOs, projects are defined for the realization of incremental capacity. After consultation of the market parties the TSO’s will decide upon the final project proposals.
3. Approval of the project proposals The project proposals will be submitted to the national regulatory authorities for approval.
4. Binding demand assessment The incremental capacity to be developed is offered at the auction. The results of the auction are input for an economic test. The outcome of the economic test determines the implementation of the proposed projects.
5. Realization of the proposed projects that passed the economic test

Market parties can make their non-binding demand indications known to GTS at any time via the demand indication form below. However, for the incremental capacity process 2021-2023, GTS will only include non-binding demand indications that have been submitted to GTS before August 31, 2021.
