If a TSO detects an outage planning incompatibility, the involved TSOs F3... shall jointly identify a solution in coordination with the concerned outage planning agents, DSOs and CDSOs, using the means at their disposal, while respecting to the extent possible the availability plans submitted by outage planning agents, which are neither a TSO F4... nor a DSO or a CDSO, and developed in accordance with Articles 95 and 96. Where a solution is identified, all TSOs F5... shall update and validate the year-ahead availability plans for all relevant assets.

Where no solution is found for an outage planning incompatibility each concerned TSO, subject to approval by the F6regulatory authority, shall:

a

force to ‘available’ status all the ‘unavailable’ or ‘testing’ statuses for the relevant assets involved in an outage planning incompatibility during the period concerned; and

b

notify to the F7regulatory authority, the affected DSOs or CDSOs, if any, and the affected outage planning agents of the actions taken including the rationale for such actions, the impact reported by affected outage planning agents and the DSOs or CDSOs where relevant.

All TSOs F8... shall consequently update and validate the year-ahead availability plans for all relevant assets.
