Entry- and exitcapacity
Entry and exit capacity can be booked both firm and interruptible. When a shipper books firm capacity, he will have the certainty that this capacity will be available to him. Interruptible capacity runs a chance of being interrupted. Interruptible capacity is offered in tranches, whereby the amount of capacity available in each tranche has been determined on the basis of past performances, including the most recent year. The amount of interruptible capacity that is offered in the tranches is re-determined every year.
Interruptible capacity will not be offered until firm capacity is sold out. Capacity with a higher chance of being interrupted will not be sold until all capacity with a lower interruption chance is sold.
Whenever capacity becomes available at a network point, interruptible capacity is upgraded to released firm capacity or to interruptible capacity with a lower chance of interruption, based on the time of booking.
Capacity in the physical direction of the flow can be booked both firm and interruptible. On the basis of past performances, the interruptible capacity in the 85% tranche has a 0% to 5% chance of interruption. On the basis of past performances, the interruptible capacity in the 70% tranche has a 5% to 15% chance of interruption.
At Dutch border points it is also possible to book capacity in the opposite direction of the physical direction of the flow at the grid point (backhaul or counterflow). This capacity is offered in three tranches. On the basis of past performances, the capacity in the 90% tranche has a infinitesimal chance of interruption. Similar to interruptible capacity in the physical direction of the flow, the capacity in the 85% and 70% tranches have a chance of interruption of 0% to 5% and 5% to 15% respectively, based on past performances.
