If I understood well, there is an allocation of responsibilities in the flow of a particular transmission line here. Then, the word cost allocated is more precise.

or a demand in a region to a connection between two regions, the name of the region
of the contributing agent (generator or demand) can be combined with the bi-directional data using
a `:` character before the bi-directional data (without spaces before/after that character).

The region of the contributing agent can be of **a different level of spatial detail**
from the two regions specified in the bi-directional data.

Example:

> DE30:France>Spain

## Parallel connections of directional data

When timeseries data represents flows or capacity on one of several parallel

Who is really going to pay for this? I wouldn't think it is the generator, no? More the entity who is using the interco to send electricity from region 3 to somewhere via region1>region2 interco?
