Annually determined NTC value
The annual determination of the NTC (Net Transfer Capacity) values is based on the following assumptions:
- All grid elements are in operation
- The load flow is evenly spread over the operating resources
The annual NTC values are indicative only and may deviate from the corresponding D-2 NTC values.
