Article 2 – paragraph 2 – point v
(v) 'strategic reserve' means a capacity mechanism in which resources are held outside the electricity market and are only dispatched in case day-ahead and intraday markets have failed to clear, transmission system operators have exhausted their balancing resources to establish an equilibrium between demand and supply, and imbalances in the market during periods where the reserves were dispatched are settled at the value of lost loadleast at technical price limits;

Article 5 – paragraph 8
8. The procurement of balancing capacity shall be facilitated on a regional level in accordance with point 8 of Annex Iperformed by the transmission system operators.

Proposal for a regulation
Article 14 – paragraph 3
3. The maximum capacity of the interconnections and/or the transmission networks affecting cross-border flows shall be made available to market participants, complying with safety standards of secure network operation. Counter-trading and redispatch, including cross-border redispatch, shall be used to maxensure security of supply and to optimisze available capacities unlesas long as it is demonstrated that it is not beneficial to economic efficiency at Union levelthe foreseen related costs are not expected to be higher than social welfare benefits and if it can be demonstrated that a sufficient level of remedial actions is available to ensure operational security.

Amendment 712 #
Proposal for a regulation
Article 14 – paragraph 7 – subparagraph 1
Transmission system operators shall not limit the volume of interconnection capacity to be made available to other market participants in order to solve congestion inside their own control area or, except for congestion on internal network elements having cross-border relevance. Transmission system operators may limit the volume of interconnection capacity to be made available to market participants as a means of managing flows on a border between two control areas observed even without any transaction, that is to say flows over control areas caused by origin and destination within one control area which are below the level of threshold established within the capacity calculation region.

Amendment 717 #
Proposal for a regulation
Article 14 – paragraph 7 – subparagraph 2
Upon request by a transmission system operator, the relevant regulatory authority may grant a derogation from the firstabove subparagraph where it is necessary for maintaining operational security or where it is beneficial to economic efficiency at Union levelthe foreseen related costs are not expected to be higher than social welfare benefits. Such a derogation, which may not relate to curtailment of already allocated capacities pursuant to paragraph 5, shall be limited in time, strictly limited to what is necessary, and avoid discrimination between internal and cross- zonal exchanges. Before granting a derogation, the relevant regulatory authority shall consult the regulatory authorities of other Member States forming part of an affected capacity calculation region. In case a regulatory authority disagrees with the proposed derogation, the Agency shall decide on the derogation pursuant to Article 6(8)(a) [recast of Regulation (EC) No 713/2009 as proposed by COM(2016) 863/2]. The justification and reasons for the derogation shall be published. Where a derogation is granted, the relevant transmission system operators shall develop and publish a methodology and projects that shall provide a long-term solution to the issue that the derogation seeks to address. The derogation shall expire when the time limit is reached or, once the solution is applied, whichever is earlier.

Amendment 931 #
Proposal for a regulation
Article 19 a (new)
Article 19 a Capacity mechanisms 1) To address residual concerns that cannot be eliminated by the measures pursuant to Article 18 (3), Member States may introduce capacity mechanisms as a last resort, subject to the provisions of this Article and to Union State aid rules. The amount of capacity committed in the mechanism shall not go beyond what is strictly necessary to address the identified concern. The parameters determining the amount of capacity procured in the capacity mechanism shall be approved by the national regulatory authority. 2) Capacity mechanisms shall not create unnecessary market distortions or inhibit cross-border trade. They shall be open to all generation technologies, storage and demand-side response. 3) Prior to introducing capacity mechanisms under paragraph 2, Member States shall conduct a comprehensive study on their possible effects on the neighbouring Member States by consulting, at least, its electrically connected neighbouring Member States and the stakeholders of those Member State. 4) Member States shall assess whether a capacity mechanism in the form of strategic reserve can address their adequacy concerns identified in the European resource adequacy assessment. If this is the case, Member States shall introduce a strategic reserve. Only where this is not the case, Member States may implement a capacity mechanism other than a strategic reserve. 5) Member States shall not introduce capacity mechanisms where: (a) the European resource adequacy assessment has not identified a resource adequacy concern; or (b) the detailed roadmap as referred to in Article 18(3) has not received a positive decision by the Commission as referred to in Article 18(3b). 6) Where a Member State applies as capacity mechanism, it shall review that mechanism and provide that no new contracts are concluded under that mechanism where: (a) the European resource adequacy assessment has not identified a resource adequacy concern; and/or (b) the measures referred to in Article 18(3) have been sufficiently implemented in accordance with Article 18(3e). 7) Capacity mechanisms shall be temporary. They shall be approved by the Commission for no longer than five years. They shall be phased out or at least phased down, based on the implementation plan pursuant to Article 18(3). 8) With the exception of strategic reserves, generation capacity emitting 450 gr CO2/kWh or more shall not be committed in capacity mechanisms after (at the date of entry into force of this Regulation).

1. To address residual concerns that cannot be eliminated by the measures pursuant to Article 18(3), Member States may introduce capacity mechanisms, subject to the provisions of this Article and to the Union State aid rules. Capacity mechanisms other than strategic reserve shall: (a) not create unnecessary market distortions and not limit cross-border trade; (b) not go beyond what is necessary to address the adequacy concern in the Member States, and perform in compliance with the EU adequacy methodology developed by ENTSO-E; (c) select capacity providers by means of a transparent, non-discriminatory and market-based process; (d) be technology neutral; (e) be temporary and approved by the Commission for no longer than five years; (f) apply capacity products which are issued for not longer than two years; (g) provide incentives for capacity providers to be available in times of expected system stress; (h) ensure that the remuneration is determined through a market-based process; (i) set out the required technical conditions for the participation of capacity providers in advance of the selection process; (j) be open to participation of all resources, including renewable energy, storage and demand side management that are capable of providing the required technical performance; (k) apply appropriate penalties to capacity providers when not available in the event of system stress; (l) not be open for generation capacity emitting 450 gr CO2/kWh or more at the entry into force of this Regulation; (m) be phased-out or at least phased down to a strategic reserve after a pre-defined period of time, based on the full implementation of the measures outlined in the roadmap pursuant to Article 18(3).
