OUTAGE COORDINATION
CHAPTER 2

Development and update of availability plans of relevant assets

Year-ahead coordination of the availability status of relevant assets for which the outage planning agent is not a TSO ..., nor a DSO or a CDSO
Article 95
1
Each TSO shall assess on a year-ahead time-frame whether outage planning incompatibilities arise from the availability plans received pursuant to Article 94.
2
When a TSO detects outage planning incompatibilities, it shall implement the following process:
a
inform each affected outage planning agent of the conditions it shall fulfil to mitigate the detected outage planning incompatibilities;
b
the TSO may request that one or more outage planning agents submit an alternative availability plan fulfilling the conditions referred to in point (a); and
c
the TSO shall repeat the assessment pursuant to paragraph 1 to determine whether any outage planning incompatibilities remain.
3
Following a TSO's request in accordance with point (b) of paragraph 2, if the outage planning agent fails to submit an alternative availability plan aimed at mitigating all outage planning incompatibilities, the TSO shall develop an alternative availability plan which shall:
a
take into account the impact reported by the affected outage planning agents as well as the DSO or CDSO where relevant;
b
limit the changes in the alternative availability plan to what is strictly necessary to mitigate the outage planning incompatibilities; and
c
notify the regulatory authority, the affected DSOs and CDSOs if any, and the affected outage planning agents about the alternative availability plan, including the reasons for developing it, as well as the impact reported by the affected outage planning agents and, where relevant, the DSOs or CDSOs.
