Comment
Utilization ratios exceeding 100% can be attributed to methodological factors: The ratio is built as Physical flows over Firm technical capacity, however, flows can also be supported by interruptible capacity. Additionally, certain TSOs have recently maximized their capacity to facilitate increased flows, resulting in actual capacities surpassing the reported nominal capacity. Regarding Virtualys IP, it is understood by ACER that the reported physical flows include direct flows from the French Dunkerque LNG terminal into the Belgian transmission system.
