The Energy Community Secretariat published its opinion on the certification of Nomgas, the gas transmission system operator of North Macedonia. The opinion largely supports the certification of Nomgas in line with the Energy and Water Services Regulatory Commission of the Republic of North Macedonia’s (ERC) preliminary decision.
In its opinion, the Secretariat recommended that, in the future, the functions of transmission system operator and market operator be performed by two different entities, not only Nomgas, thus ensuring an additional layer of oversight in the market.
ERC is to adopt a final certification decision, taking the utmost account of the opinion of the Secretariat.
