Note: while the grid situation is not changing drastically compared to 2025, the total offered capacity auctioned for the FR > BE direction for this second yearly auction of 2026 is corrected downwards compared to 2025 values, based on the Day Ahead actual results throughout 2025.
This is done to avoid overallocation of the long term FTR capacity offered to the market.
