Amsterdam, 18 April 2012. - Sixteen major European Transmission System Operators (TSOs) have taken the initiative to bundle their efforts and wide experience in the field of capacity booking platforms to move towards a joint European capacity platform. The alliance is formed by network operators from Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany and the Netherlands. At the FLAME conference high-ranking representatives of the initiative today signed a Memorandum of Understanding defining the shape of this new capacity platform to meet future European market rules.

These are described in the Network Code for Capacity Allocation Mechanism (NC CAM), which is currently being finalized at an EU level.
