Closed distribution system (CDS) network points
Supplier-shipper combinations that supply gas to end-users within a closed distribution system (CDS) need to contract for transport with GTS prior to supply. There are 10 CDS network points with private network operators on the GTS network.
Separate from the fact that the supplier-shipper registers with the private network operator as an active party on the connection concerned, advance booking with GTS of transport capacity on these CDS network points by the shipper(s) is necessary/a condition. GTS regards this CDS contracting as a matter for the shippers and knows that there are no checks on this between GTS and the private network operators.
CDS network points are booked on a first come first served basis (FCFS). GTS offers the 5 standard capacity products on this basis: Yearly, Quarterly, Monthly, Day and Within Day.
How do you book CDS points? Shippers can book transport capacity on the CDS points direct on the European booking platform PRISMA by registering as a capacity holder. In exceptional circumstances if the Prisma platform is not available, shippers can request that GTS GTS book on their behalf by completing the form 'Request for entry and/or exit capacity' in full and sending the signed form to customerdesk@gastransport.nl.
