4. Regional Wholesale Trading
GRI-SSE-RWT-1: Trading Points• facilitation of access to the virtual trading point for the gas market South-East• national consumer markets and transit market should be technically and
administratively merged• national trading points to be established• Entry/Exit Systems to be implemented in all markets of the GRI SSE
GRI-SSE- RWT-2: Improvement of Hub-to-Hub Trading
• facilitation of Hub-to-Hub Trading
• harmonisation between the hubs
GRI-SSE- RWT-3: Regional Balancing Services
• Common balancing arrangements
• Coordination and compensation of imbalances (TSOs coordinate to allow shippers
to offset their imbalances in one zone against those in another)
• Criteria for the definition of balancing areas
177th IG Meeting, Milan, Italy, 26 March 2010
4. Market Integration
GRI-SSE-MI-1: IP Assessment• implementation of an Operational Balancing Agreement
• template for reproduction at those Interconnection Points in the SSE
GRI-SSE-MI-2: Monitoring of Implementation of OBAs at other IPs
GRI-SSE-MI-3: Reverse Flow Investments• Tendering of the projects themselves, and• Cost allocation for the remaining part of the investments
GRI-SSE-MI-4: MS’ improvement of Regional Solidarity
• GRI SSE RCC to serve as assisting body to development of regional Emergency plans
GRI-SSE-MI-5: TSO Regional 10 Year Network Development Plan (2011)• Regional 10 Year Network Development Plan will follow one year after each publication
of the Europe-wide plan
187th IG Meeting, Milan, Italy, 26 March 2010
4. Transparency
GRI-SSE-T-1: Monitoring of data delivery (GTE+ Transparency
Platform)
• The RCC will constantly monitor the data quality and completeness provided by
the TSOs and encourage TSOs to improve data provision
GRI-SSE-T-2: Monitoring of data quality for GSE Platform• The RCC will constantly monitor the data quality and completeness provided by
the SSOs.
Cost recovery mechanisms
• No market demand for SoS investments– These investments will not be born by costumers via
regular mechanism – New mechanisms needed
• New mechanism with ability to cope with different situations– Small / large investments– Reverse flow projects– One, two or several countries benefiting from SoS
Investment– Evolving needs of countries
GIE position on cost recovery of infrastructure for SoS
Principles that should be obeyed
• Mechanism should apply cross-Europe• Mechanism should be able to cope with evolving
requirements of SoS• Cost recovery mechanism should not be limited
to reverse flows and take into account all SoS investments
• Ultimately, end-users of benefiting countries should fully bear the cost
• TSOs should not bear the risk of SoS investment
GIE position on cost recovery of infrastructure for SoS
Some suggestions
Possibilities for cost recovery mechanisms (no market demand)
• Stay as close as possible to current schemes Take into account shippers responsibility for providing gas – consider a public service obligation to contract capacity for non-market events
• Investments in SoS are more policy-driven Involve Member States in capacity booking
• TSOs book capacity through open season Further refinement needed to cope with involvement of several MS
Need full clarity on the mechanism for cost-recovery if two or more MS involved
GIE position on cost recovery of infrastructure for SoS
Suggestions for involvement of more than 2 MS
Efficiency of Multi-lateral/Regional/European Mechanism:
• SoS provider claims costs to a central organism
• Central organism claims costs to benefiting countries
Precise determination of means needed – further elaboration on mechanism should be done

6. IP Arnoldstein / Tarvisio
On 10 march 2010 a meeting gathering TAG GmbH, SNAM Rete Gas, and AEEG, ECG has been organized to assess the status of the IPA process
TAG GmbH presented a proposal for an Interconnection Point Agreement (IPA) to SNAM Rete Gas (SRG) to define some technical issues to be tackled.
The main argument of the IPA is the Operational Balancing Account (OBA) and the relevant imbalance tolerance.
247th IG Meeting, Milan, Italy, 26 March 2010
6. IP Arnoldstein / Tarvisio
SNAM’s preliminary assessmentSNAM identified four important issues to be faced to introduce the OBA:
• Modify the current practice in use at Italian Customs offices for accounting of imported gas volumes;
• Increased SNAM Rete Gas storage capacity needs to manage the differences between nominated and measured volumes;
• Possible amendment to be proposed to the Italian Network Code and balancing rules:
• Management of the imbalance volumes “nomination/measured” if exceeding a certain tolerance.

8. Practical Implications for Implementation of OBAs
A challenging Interconnection Agreement…..

Nomination and matching at the Interconnection Point Baumgarten:A challenging Interconnection Agreement
GRI SSE Implementation Group Meeting26/03/2010 - Milano
GRI SSE – 26.03.2010 - p 31
Interconnection Point Agreement is not only about OBAs
The IPA states the technical and operational conditions between the adjacent TSOs (EASEE-gas CBP 2005/002-02):

GRI SSE – 26.03.2010 - p 32
Baumgarten IPA Issues with the matching process:
Units and gas day
GRI SSE – 26.03.2010 - p 33
Two different unit systems, 2 different gas days
Issues: how to transform slovak nominations (Sm3/d) in EASEE-gas CBP standard? (kWh/h)
3 GCV forecast (one for each downstream system (OGG, TAG, BOG))
Transforming Nm3(15°) into Sm3(20°)
8.00 to 8.00 day vs 6.00 to 6.00
Solutions:
All TSOs agreed on a common forecast GCV. Based on this GCV, eustream transforms its shipper´s nominations into kWh for matching.
Austrian TSOs provide eustream with the calculation in Sm3(20°) as an additional information+ defined kWh based on Nm3(15°) as the reference.
Austrian TSOs request their shippers for 6.00 to 8.00 nominations.
The „lesser rule“ hourly matching, the 2h renomination lead time and the OBA between the TSOs allow the compatibility with eustream´s daily matching.
Slovakia: Sm3(20°C) – 8.00 to 8.00Austria: kWh based on forecasted GCV – 6.00 to 6.00.

Solution choosen: hourly matching
Compatible with EASEE-gas CBP
The profiles on the Slovak and Austrian TSO network are relatively „flat“ (transit or compensated domestic)
Some shippers on eustream already send an hourly profiled nomination for information.

Summary: TSO allowed flexibility for trading parties
Within the Interconnection Point Agreement Baumgarten the 4 TSOs (eustream, TAG, OGG, BOG) and the CEGH established the procedures :
Keeping open both possibilities for trade on the CEGH trading Platform (OTC or exchange) or on the flange.
the trading parties can freely determine what is their preferred trading solution.
Allowing to compensate the different regimes for balancing and units.
These regimes derive on the one hand from the legal framework (authorities and NRA).
But also are not independant on the terms of the trade contracts (between trading parties, e.g gas day definition in the trade contract).
437th IG Meeting, Milan, Italy, 26 March 2010
8. IPAs with OBAs – Next Steps
• NRAs and TSOs could cooperate by forming “Project Teams” in
order to discuss given issues and barriers for the implementation at
their respective Interconnection Points.
• Experience from the IP Baumgarten and, in the future, form the IP
Arnoldstein-Tarvisio, as well as other successful implementations,
may serve as templates.
• The GRI SSE will constantly support and monitor the
implementation of Interconnection Point Agreements containing
OBAs
