Background of the initiative
Foreseeably in 2015, the Network Code on Capacity Allocation Mechanisms
(developed by ENTSOG) will come into force for all European countries.
The goal of the platform is an early implementation of the Network Code on CAM


The new platform will serve for the booking of primary capacity products on all IPs of
adjacent Entry Exit Systems in accordance with CAM.

Primary market features for points out of the scope of CAM can be envisaged.

In addition the platform will be able to handle regional regulatory specifics of
different countries (e.g. FCFS).
The partners are also working on the secondary market functionalities to be offered on
the new platform.
April 2013, GO-live of initial platform, releases with new features foreseen in the
future

Not all of the products will be available right away

Until NC CAM comes into force the platform will also handle regional regulatory specifics
of different countries

The Registration Process
 A single user of a shipper can only acquire transport capacities on the
platform and on behalf of their company once they have been activated by
the respective TSO.
 Users of a shipper who would like to join the platform have to pass the
registration process.
 If a shipper company is not yet registered, the registration of the shipper
takes place with the registration of its first user. A separate registration of
the shipper company is not possible.
 If no longer needed, the shippers as well as their users can be deactivated
 In order to register to the platform shippers need an EIC Code
After a registration the user receives a personal account and token.
The account must not be shared with other company members and the
token is not transferrable to other users!

Registration facts for the new platform
Does a shipper already registered to TRAC-X primary have to re-register
to PRISMA primary?

Customers successfully registered to the former TRAC-X primary do not have to re-register to
PRISMA primary

But: shippers need to submit additional information to allow the platform to comply with
European standards for shipper identification




EIC Code (substitutes DVGW-Code as primary key)
VAT Number
IBAN
BIC

After logging in with the usual authentication method (user name, token-code) the platform will
ask for the additional information.

An EIC Code can be obtained at the Central Office or one of the national offices. For a full list,
see http://www.eiccodes.eu
Please note that you will need to enter this information until 15th March 2013, otherwise you
will not be able to book capacities on PRISMA primary from 1 April 2013.

Capacity Products
General








All products are auctioned at predefined (different) points in time that can be found in
the auction calendar.
The publication of the specific products which will be auctioned takes place in due time
before the auction starts (1 month for annual products, 1 week for quarterly and
monthly products, no advance publication for day-ahead products).
There are two different algorithms for actions: the ascending clock auction algorithm for
yearly, quarterly, and month-ahead products and the uniform-price algorithm for dayahead products.
The ascending clock auction takes place in at least one bidding round (is the demand
in the first bidding round higher than the capacity offered more bidding rounds will be
used).
The duration of an ascending clock bidding round is one hour (exception: duration of
the first bidding round is three hours)
The number of bidding rounds in an ascending clock auction that are needed until an
allocation is possible depends on the course of the auction.
Day-ahead capacity is auctioned in a single bidding round via the uniform price
algorithm
Interruptible capacity auctions are optional until NC CAM comes into force and are until
then subject to national variations

Auction types
Monthly, Quarterly and Yearly products are auctioned by using an ascendingclock auctioning process

Auctioning takes place in (multiple) bidding rounds.

In each bidding round a bid for a certain quantity of capacity at a given price is
submitted.

The price steps are determined by the platform.
Day-Ahead products are auctioned in a process using the uniform-price
algorithm

There is only one bidding round.

A shipper can submit up to 10 bids per auction.

The platform evaluates all bids in a descending-order according to their price.

The lowest price of all awarded bids is considered the clearing price.

Booking Process
Options for booking capacity
Two possibilities to book capacities on PRISMA primary:
 At Interconnection Points (Market area interconnection points and Cross-Border
points) firm capacity is marketed via auctions.
 Interruptible capacity will, until NC CAM comes into force, only be offered by
some TSOs via auctions.
 The German TSOs still offer to book capacities according to the “first-come-firstserved“ principle (FCFS) at points to end consumers, production and storage
facilities (Grid Access Points). Furthermore, you can book interruptible capacities
according to the FCFS principle at German Interconnection Points.
Different possibilities to start one of the booking processes:
 Auction overview : From a list of all available auctions you can directly access
the screen for submitting a bid for a certain auction (booking process I)

Master data browser for interconnection points: see next slide

In general, the market clearing price equals the price component of the lowest
successful bid

exists, the starting price of the respective auction (e.g. regulated tariff) will be
