Procedure on Harmonisation of Maintenance Publication GTE+ Workshop on GTE+ Work Programme 24 June 2008
Drivers Planned maintenance periods are already published by the TSOs (website, bulletin board, …) or made available through ad-hoc documents BUT… Publication is not harmonised (timing, access to information, nature of works performed, impact, communication channel)
Objective To streamline the communication about planned maintenance amongst TSOs and between TSOs and market participants By providing market participants with a standardized planning of works and interventions (impact, file format, communication channel…)
Planning 1st phase: drafting of a document stating the current practices with regards to maintenance publication by GTE Business Rules sub- Working Group. To do this, a questionnaire will be drawn up and sent to the GTE members 2nd phase: gather the feed-back from market participants collected either through a workshop or via a consultation process 3rd phase: develop and valide a final version of the procedure on harmonisation of the maintenance publication
