Seven European countries gas TSOs (Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Germany, France, Italy and the Netherlands) have announced the launch of PRISMA, a platform where all day-ahead capacity of the seven countries will be booked as of April 2013. The goal of the new European Platform is the early implementation of ENTSOG’s Network Code on Capacity Allocation Mechanisms, the future market rules for allocating transport capacity. The new European platform will be a major step towards an integrated European gas market linking the gas markets of seven different countries in the core of Europe. Thus, it opens new possibilities for cross-border gas transport to shippers, who will then be able to book capacities at European network points through one single platform. The platform will be able to handle different capacity products, offer auction mechanisms and serve different TSO backend systems. The platform will also have a secondary market function. The first monthly auctions will take place on 15 April 2013.
