Article 37Procedure for restoration of market activities

1

The concerned TSO, in coordination with the NEMO(s) active in its control area and with the neighbouring TSOs, shall launch the procedure for the restoration of market activities suspended pursuant to Article 35(1) when:

a

the situation triggering the suspension has ended and no other situation referred to in Article 35(1) applies; and

b

the entities referred to in Article 38(2) have been duly informed in advance in accordance with Article 38.

2

The concerned TSO, in coordination with neighbouring TSOs, shall launch the restoration of TSO processes impacted by the suspension of market activities when the conditions of paragraph 1 are fulfilled or before, if necessary to restore market activities.

3

The concerned NEMO(s), in coordination with TSOs and entities referred to in Article 35(5), shall launch the restoration of the relevant single day ahead and/or single intraday coupling processes as soon as the TSO(s) notifies that the TSOs' processes have been restored.

4

When the provision of cross zonal capacity has been suspended and subsequently restored, each concerned TSO shall update the cross zonal capacities for capacity allocation by using, from the following, the most feasible and efficient option for each market time unit:

a

by using the latest available cross zonal capacities calculated by the coordinated capacity calculator;

b

by launching the regional capacity calculation processes applicable in accordance with Articles 29 and 30 of Regulation (EU) 2015/1222; or,

c

by determining, in coordination with TSOs of the capacity calculation region, cross zonal capacities based on the actual physical network conditions.

5

When part of the total coupled area where market activities have been suspended is back to the normal state or alert state, the NEMO(s) of this area shall be entitled to execute a market coupling in a part of the total coupled area, in consultation with the TSOs and entities referred to in Article 35(5), provided that the TSO has restored the capacity calculation process.

6

No later than 30 days after the market activities have been restored, the TSO(s) that suspended and restored market activities shall prepare a report at least in English containing a detailed explanation of the rationale, implementation and impact of the market suspension and a reference to the compliance with the rules for suspension and restoration of market activities and shall submit it to the relevant regulatory authority in accordance with Article 37 of Directive 2009/72/EC, and make it available to the entities referred to in Article 38(2).

The regulatory authorities of the Member States or the Agency may issue a recommendation to the concerned TSO(s) to promote good practices and prevent similar incidents in the future.
