Article 7a 5.

The actual reduction of consumption resulting from the activation of a peak-shaving product shall be measured against a baseline, reflecting the expected electricity consumption without the activation of the peak-shaving product. Where a system operator procures a peak-shaving product, that operator shall develop a baseline methodology after consulting market participants, shall, where relevant, take into account the implementing acts adopted pursuant to Article 59(1), point (e), and shall submit it to the regulatory authority concerned for its approval.
