Summary:Transiting power from Germany to the Netherlands for this time period would require six separate successful bids at monthly capacity auctions-one for each month. The auctions offer no guarantees-participants may or may not get the capacity they bid for and they can only be certain of their capacity 15 days prior to the beginning of each month. Long-term contracts have priority allocation at auctions, so a bid for short-term capacity is less likely to succeed.
