Shift of capacity

A party who contracts the ‘shift of capacity’ service has the right to transfer exit capacity from one domestic exit point to another domestic exit point for a certain period. There are no costs for a shift of capacity.

Do you want to use the shift of capacity service? If so, please submit a request to our Customer Desk. Please ensure that your request meets the following conditions:

·         There is a noticeable restriction to the potential for extracting gas at the exit point

·         The shift of capacity relates to a continuous period

·         You can use all or part of this capacity at a different exit point within your portfolio

·         You have used the shift of capacity service no more than once during the calendar year

·         Capacity is available at the exit point to which capacity is to be shifted

·         You submit the request for a shift in capacity as soon as you are aware of the (imminent or actual) noticeable restriction

The exact conditions with which your request for a shift of capacity must comply are set out in article 2.1.8 of the Transmission Code Gas TSO. You should justify in your request how it meets these conditions.

Once your request has been assessed and approved by GTS, you will receive a form to complete, sign and return to GTS. GTS will carry out the shift of capacity on this basis.

NB: Shift of capacity to or from exit points at which available transmission capacity is being offered at auction is not possible.

For the agreed period of the shift of capacity, capacities are settled on the basis of the capacity product of the capacity to be shifted and the regulated TSC tariffs applicable for that product per network point.
