Formal public consultation on the CRM Functioning Rules

Context

This public consultation takes place in accordance with Art. 7 undecies §12 of the Electricity Act.

This proposal contains the modifications Elia wishes to make to the current set of Functioning Rules as set by the Royal Decree of 30 May 2021 (Dutch – French). The main suggested changes have been presented to the stakeholders in the Adequacy Working Group. After the public consultation, a consultation report will be drafted, the Functioning Rules will be updated on the basis of received comments and will be formally submitted for approval to CREG by 1 February 2023 at the latest. The formal validation process of this set of Functioning Rules applicable for the Y-4 auction for the delivery period starting 1 November 2027 is foreseen to be finalized with a publication by Elia and the CREG at the latest by 15 May 2023. The text is then the subject of a Royal Decree published in the Belgian Official Gazette.
