3 Capacity Work Stream SG meeting, London, 14 November 2008
Capacity situation in the NW region
Easy access to capacity for transport across the region seen as a priority area for action in the GRI NW
Substantial challenges confirmed by the Roadmap (April 2008)
“Capacity should be easily available and tradable”
“Capacity should be fungible, compatible with trade in the commodity and consistent across the region”
Since the Roadmap was presented in Amsterdam, progress has been made setting up the priority Projects for capacity issue
7 projects plans tackling various aspects of capacity issue in a coherent approach
But congestion situation still existing on the majority of IPs in the region
4 Capacity Work Stream SG meeting, London, 14 November 2008
Capacity situation in the NW region Percentage of firm available capacity compared to the total of technical capacity
Selected interconnection points (H gas):
• Blaregnies / Taisnières
• Eynatten
• Medelsheim / Obergailbach
• Bunde Oude / Statenzijl
Preliminary remarks on data:
• Time horizon: 2009 and 2010 (until may 2010) i.e. 18 months from Nov. 2008 (in accordance with Reg. n° 1775/2005 on publication of information at relevant points)
• Calculation based on TSOs’ data available for consultation on GTE+ Transparency Platform (www.gas-roads.eu). These data are also available on TSOs’ websites.
• On Fluxys side: conditional capacity considered as firm capacity
• On GTS side, some information are mentioned as confidential (C)

8 Capacity Work Stream SG meeting, London, 14 November 2008
Overview of the project plans
Project plan on Fluxys
interruptible services
Objective
Improve the functioning of Belgian transit system
Scope
Examination of Fluxys’ new interruptible services (transit and existing entry capacity for domestic transport; overbooking situation and buy-back measures)
Deliverable
Description of services (Q4-08)
Assessing market value (Q1-09)
Next step
Identification and analysis of “other initiatives”
9 Capacity Work Stream SG meeting, London, 14 November 2008
Overview of the project plans
Project plan on pilot IPs of B / T
and M / O
Objective: improve functioning and capacity access at two pilot interconnection points
• Possibility to get access to equal capacity on each side of the IPs • Improvement of the interoperability of adjacent networks and improvement of the gas transit
Context
First set of concrete proposals from TSOs in Feb. 08 on capacity products and service offered, capacity increase (O.S.), procedures (booking notice…) and transparency (publication of data…)
Deliverable
Follow-up of implementation of commitments (Q4-08)
Next step
Further improvements and roll-out to others IPs (Q2-09)
10 Capacity Work Stream SG meeting, London, 14 November 2008
Overview of the project plans
Project plan at BOS (1)
“DACA”
Objective
Better use of existing capacity, improve liquidity and introduce market based trading of capacity (auctioning)
Sale of primary interruptible capacity + secondary firm capacity
Sale via online trading platforms (Trac-X and APX)
Status of implementation
Pilot started on May 08. but success of the project highly conditioned to the liquidity of the market (few transactions took place)
Some arrangements to be introduced on Jan. 09. to improve secondary trading
Next step
Initial evaluation of modified arrangements before going further. Possible request to extend the duration of the pilot
11 Capacity Work Stream SG meeting, London, 14 November 2008
Overview of the project plans
Project plan at BOS (2)
“Flow Commitments”
Objective
Increase available firm capacity for the short term at Bunde/Oude Statenzjil through implementation of flow commitments (FCs)
Key milestones
• Develop concept of FC
• Examination of FC impact on (commodity) markets in NL and D and relation of FC to swaps
• Evaluate regulatory framework and legal feasibility
Next step
Publication of a working paper on flow commitment concept (Q4-08) and solve resource issue with TSOs and stakeholders

3. Organization of the capacity session
13 Capacity Work Stream SG meeting, London, 14 November 2008
Organization of capacity session
Four projects selected for immediate attention
OPTIMISING THE USE OF
EXISTING CAPACITY
Short term capacity project planExamination of how unused capacity could be released day-ahead and investigating into whether renomination rules have to be reformed
Bundled products Overview of different platforms offering bundled products and analysis of how combined day-ahead primary capacity can be made available on the market
Capacity service evolution Increase the compatibility of capacity services and marketing procedures
CREATING CAPACITY
Coordination of open seasonAddressing difficulties encountered in coordination of O. S. ; defining effective and operational coordinated O.S. mechanisms
Interactive debate on few concrete questions to get tangible propositions
