In March 2015, 7,899 primary capacity auctions were placed by the participating TSOs on PRISMA – the joint capacity platform of major European TSOs. Overall, 1,060 successful auctions were registered on the platform in March 2015.
Secondary Trading
In March 2015, the total secondary volume amounted to 39,898.7 MWh/h.
Currently, 427 companies with more than 1,422 users are registered with PRISMA and can therefore participate in capacity trading on the platform.
PRISMA was founded by major European TSOs from Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Germany, France, Italy and the Netherlands with the aim to create a joint European capacity platform.
The European PRISMA Platform, which was launched in April 2013, is the first platform to have implemented the Network Code on Capacity Allocation Mechanisms, the future European market rules for allocating natural gas transport capacity, which will come into force in November 2015.
There are currently 34 European TSOs from Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Luxemburg, Netherlands, Portugal, Slovenia, Spain and UK connected to the platform and market transport capacity via PRISMA. 22 TSOs are shareholders of PRISMA.
With its harmonised capacity products and auction mechanisms and its ability to serve a high number of TSO backend systems in accordance with the CAM Network Code, PRISMA is a major step towards an integrated European gas market.
