Article 56

In the event of force majeure, TSOs may curtail long-term transmission rights. Such curtailment shall be undertaken in a coordinated manner following liaison with all TSOs directly affected. The TSO which invokes the force majeure shall publish a notification describing the nature of the force majeure and its probable duration. In the event of curtailment due to force majeure the concerned holders of long-term transmission rights shall receive compensation for the period of that force majeure by the TSO which invoked the force majeure. In this case, the compensation shall be equal to the amount initially paid for the concerned long-term transmission right during the forward allocation process. The TSO which invokes a force majeure shall make every possible effort to limit the consequences and duration of the force majeure. Where a Member State has so provided, upon request by the TSO concerned, the national regulatory authority shall assess whether an event qualifies as force majeure.
