By Resolution 660/2017/R/GAS of 28 September 2017 (hereinafter: Resolution 660/2017/R/GAS), the Authority for the Electricity, Gas and Water (AEEGSI) has reformed the provision of regasification capacity through the introduction of auction-based market mechanisms in place of previous allocation procedures carried out by regasification companies in compliance with the principle of priority access and pro-rata.
In applying this reform, AEEGSI has established that regasification companies can access the services offered in this area by the Gestore dei Mercati Energetici S.p.A. (GME) for the management of auction-based procedures and that, to this purpose, GME shall define, with the support of the regasification companies, a proposal for the management of such services to be submitted to the Authority's approval.

In order to provide the interested parties with well-rounded view of the new capacity allocation methods, this document shows - as outlined in the proposals for modification of the regasification codes prepared by the regasification companies wishing to use GME services - a description of the access and operation modalities of the existing market platform, which will be organized and managed by GME, for the carrying out of regasification capacity allocation auctions.
