Our Services
GTS uses an entry-exit system, in which the gas enters the grid at entry points and leaves the grid at exit points. Shippers can book transport capacity at entry points and at exit points. Before awarding transport capacity to a shipper, GTS performs an availability and a technical transport test. Tariffs have been set for all individual entry and exit points. Entry capacity gives the right to inject a specific volume of gas per hour into the national gas transmission grid at an entry point; exit capacity gives the right to extract a specific volume of gas per hour from the national gas transmission grid at an exit point. A directly connected party can book exit capacity at its connection linked to the GTS network.
GTS accepts gas that is offered at entry points, transports it and makes it available at exit points. A shipper has a free choice of a combination of entry and exit points. The combined entry and exit contracts of one and the same shipper are called a portfolio. A shipper can have several portfolios. A shipper does not have to book the entry and exit capacity at the same time. However, he is obliged to ensure that his portfolio balances the volume of gas that he injects into the system and the volume that he extracts from it. To achieve this, GTS has introduced a balancing regime (see Chapter 4).
There is a specified handling period of a maximum of 10 working days between submitting the request for transport capacity and the actual transport. GTS needs this time to complete the request in time.
The handling period is at the most 10 working days from the date that GTS has received the request assumed that the request fulfil the requirements.
The handling period starts at the receiving date if GTS has received the request before 12.00 o´clock (noon). If GTS has received the request after 12.00 o´clock (noon) the handling period starts next working day.
