- The NTC values are indicative and non-binding values.
- The NTC values represent an ex-ante estimation of the seasonal
transmission capacities of the joint interconnections on a border
between neighbouring countries, assessed through security analyses
based on the best estimation by TSOs of system and network conditions
for the referred period.
- As numerical values, the NTCs constitute the maximum foreseen
magnitudes of exchange programmes that can be operated between
two areas respecting the N-1 security conditions of the involved
areas, taking into account the uncertainties on the assumptions
of NTC assessment (see document user guide on NTC and ATC).
- The cross-border capacity released to the market can differ
from the NTC values, due to operational conditions different
from the ones adopted within the assumptions of NTC assessment,
in terms of generation and load pattern and/or exchange programs
on other borders, and due to possible lines maintenance activities
limiting the interconnection capacities.
- The NTC values provided by ETSO are computed on a bilateral
basis for each separate border between neighbouring TSOs without
considering multilateral influence. Thus these figures are not
cumulative (they cannot be summed up).
- In order to take into account the possible interdependencies
of the bilateral NTCs values on different borders of one country
the maximal export/import value to/from each country have been
included in this new prototype.
