At the request of the transmission system operator, the regulatory authority may decide to extend the contractual period of the remaining part of balancing capacity referred to in paragraph 9 to a maximum period of twelve months provided that such a decision is limited in time, and the positive effects in terms of lowering of costs for final customers exceed the negative impacts on the market. The request shall include: the specific period during which the exemption would apply; the specific volume of balancing capacity to which the exemption would apply; an analysis of the impact of the exemption on the participation of balancing resources; and a justification for the exemption demonstrating that such an exemption would lead to lower costs to final customers.
