Considering that the implicit capacity allocation model (ICA model) has substantially contributed to the growing liquidity and the integration of short-term gas markets in the Baltic States as well as price convergence for day-ahead product, GET Baltic together with transmission system operators of the Baltic States (Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia) have decided to implement ICA model for within-day product as well.
