REMINDER: Retaining exit capacity for direct connected parties for 2025

We are approaching the end of year 2024, and we are focusing on 2025, in which year we as GTS would like to serve you again through reliable gas transport.

With this message we would like to remind you that the capacity for your gas purchase in 2025 must be booked with GTS before 1 December 2024 in order not to lose your "right to held capacity".

GTS holds the exit capacity for directly connected parties (DA) until 1 December, as described in Article 2.1.2a. of the Transport Code Gas - LNB. This means that, until 1 December 2024, GTS will retain the capacity that is booked at your exit point (s) for the year 2024 also for the year 2025. GTS may not hold more capacity for your exit point(s) than is booked at that exit point in 2024. After 1 December, this right on 'retained capacity' will expire and the entire transmission capacity becomes available to the market.

To be sure of contracted exit capacity for the period starting on January 1 2025, this capacity should be booked at GTS before 1 December 2024 at 06:00 CET. In most cases you, as DA, will not book the required capacity yourself, as your gas supplier is facilitating this for you. Although we have received many bookings for end-users (DA), this is far from being the case for all exit points. You can check with your gas supplier whether the required capacity for your exit point has already been booked with GTS or request them to do so before 1 December 2024 06:00h CET.
