Regulation (EC) No 715/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council on conditions for access to natural gas transmission networks that repeals Regulation (EC) No 1775/2005 serves in particular to determine non-discriminatory rules for provisions governing access to natural gas transmission networks and to create mechanisms to harmonise rules pertaining to network access for cross-border gas trading. Annex I to this regulation contains a catalogue of publication obligations for transmission system operators.

The Regulation (EU) 2017/459 also contains provisions for incremental capacity. On 27 March 2023 the Federal Network Agency has decided in the administrative proceedings with the approval of a fee for activities resulting from the submission of non-binding respect to demand indications for incremental capacity pursuant to section 29(1) of the Energy Industry Act (EnWG) in conjunction with section 56(1) sentence 1 para 2 and sentence 2 EnWG in conjunction with Article 6(11) and Article 7(3) of the Regulation (EC) No 715/2009 in conjunction with Article 26(11) of the Regulation (EU) 2017/459 that the TSO is entitled to impose a fee pursuant to Article 26(11) of the Regulation (EU) 2017/459.
From the incremental capacity cycle 2023 - 2025 onwards, the German transmission system operators will charge a fee of €30,000 per market area border, type of request (incremental capacity or upgrade of existing capacity) and direction (entry or exit capacity) for their activities resulting from the submission of non-binding demand indications in accordance with Article 26 (11) of Regulation (EU) 2017/459 (NC CAM). Please note that the fee will also be charged if the transmission of the non-binding demand indication is not submitted to the applicants by the requesting party directly but by a third party (such as an adjacent, foreign TSO) (cf. point 37 BK9-22/042). The approval by the Federal Network Agency and detailed information can be found in the decision BK9-22/042. Further information:

- For temperature-dependent entry capacities the following shall apply: Temperature range ≤ 0°C: 100% firm capacity Temperature range > 0°C and ≤ 8°C: 57% firm capacity Temperature range > 8°C: 0% firm capacity
- For temperature-dependent exit capacities the following shall apply: Temperature range ≥ 16°C: 100% firm capacity Temperature range ≥ 10°C and < 16°C: 22% firm capacity Temperature range < 10°C: 0% firm capacity
