Examples of credit limit calculations

You only want to be active on the TTF (C licence)
- The fixed imbalance reservation is €100,000
- Taking into account additional credit margin, we recommend a minimum of €118,000 to be provided(spent percentage 85%)

You are active on TTF and book transport capacity for a year (licences A or B)
- The fixed imbalance reservation is €100,000
- The transport booking for one year amounts to €480,000
- Required credit per month is €100,000 + €120,000 (€480,000/12 x factor 3) = €220,000
- We recommend providing at least €260,000 (85% spent)

You are active on TTF, you book transport capacity for a day and have a settlement invoice (Licences A or B)
- The fixed imbalance reservation is €100,000
- The transport booking for one day amounts to €75,000
- The balancing exposure is €60,000 (settlement invoice)
- Required credit per month is €100,000 + €75,000 x factor 1 + €60,000 = €235,000
- We recommend providing at least €277,300 (85% spent)

You are active on TTF, you book transport capacity for a quarter and transport gas to the LDC (B licence)
- The fixed imbalance reservation is €100,000
- The LDC reservation is €50,000 for the first year and adjusted to LDC data thereafter
- The transport booking is for one quarter and comes to a total of €375,000
- The balancing exposure is €25,000 - Required credit per month is €100,000 + €50,000 + €375,000 (€375,000/3 x factor 3) + €25,000 = €550,000
- We recommend providing at least €649,000 (85% spent)

If  your organisation has a Dutch VAT code, you must include 21% VAT in the calculation.

Same example with VAT- The fixed imbalance reservation is €100,000
- The LDC reservation is €50,000 for the first year and adjusted to LDC data thereafter
- The transport booking is for one quarter and comes to a total of €375,000
- The balancing exposure is €25,000
- Required credit per month is €100,000 + €50,000 + (€375,000 + €25,000 x 1.21) = €634,000
- We recommend providing at least 784,120 (85% spent)
