Spread orderbooks made available for trading: 

Implicit Capacity Allocation 

EEX will introduce the Implicit Capacity Allocation (ICA) on Baltic and Finnish spot markets to create a venue for TSOs to allocate transmission capacity rights to shippers directly when trading, whereby overall market liquidity is increased.   

When this allocation method is applied, both cross-border transmission capacity and a corresponding quantity of purchased gas are allocated at the same time through EEX.   

ICA will use dedicated spread orderbooks (LVA-EST/LTU and LVA-EST/FIN) to include the dedicated capacities of the Balticconnector and Kiemenai interconnection points and determine the best price across all VTPs in the Baltic-Finnish gas markets, considering the associated transportation costs. These spread orderbooks will not be available for regular trading, as they are reserved for ICA cross-border order matching.  

The ICA opening and closing times for the interconnection points are the following: 

* D represents the current calendar day
** D+1 indicates the following calendar day 

For more information about the Implicit Capacity Allocation, please visit EEX TV to view a full presentation of the market feature.  

Please note that trades involving ICA will be subject to specific cancellation rules which will be published on www.eex.com in due time before the launch. 

Market Data Services 

Baltic and Finnish markets will be integrated into the EEX reference prices and indices and will be published at the standard times along with the other existing data. 

Information to help you integrate the data into your systems can be found in the preparatory information for the launch of EEX Baltic-Finnish market data in EEX Group DataSource Products on EEX website.
