After the public consultation, a consultation report will be drafted, the capacity contract will be updated on the basis of received comments and will be formally submitted for approval to CREG. The formal validation process of this capacity contract is foreseen in the upcoming months.

It is important to know that Elia will consolidate the different remarks and publish them on its website at the end of the consultation unless the respondent requests confidentiality in its response. Please note that all received feedback (also the confidential ones) may be shared with the members of the CRM Follow-up Committee (“Comité de Suivi”) consisting of representatives from the Federal Public Service Economy-DG Energy, the federal regulator CREG, the office of Federal Energy Minister Van der Straeten and Elia, unless the stakeholder explicitly indicates that this is not allowed.
