An Introduction to Network Codes
&
The Links Between Codes

March 2013

What is a network code?

A set of rules applying to one
aspect of the energy sector
Which are developed by
ACER, ENTSO-E & market
participants
And become legally binding
after the Comitology process

Hence they will have the same
status as any other Regulation

• LFCR is closely tied to EB
• All the operational codes are

• OS and OPS are linked to the link to CC
due to

the Common Grid Model).

Market related network codes
• Capacity Allocation and
Congestion Management was the
first market code to be developed

• It contains three main subsections
that were merged at an early
stage:
• Intraday
CACM
DA
CC
ID • Day Ahead
• Capacity Calculation

• This was done to ensure
consistency between these heavily
interrelated areas

• The CACM code is based on the
EU wide “Target Model” for market
design.
