2 Contracts and Capacity

2.1 Access to your Contracts

By clicking on “Consult your Contracts”, you’ll be redirected to the website etransmission.grtgaz.com,

where you can consult and manage your contracts, amendments and invoices, if you have opted for the

electronic signature of contractual documents.

2.2 Overview of the Capacity Management Process

The following flowchart describes the capacity management process on the Upstream network as well as

on the Downstream network.

This process is the same on both networks, with two differences:

On the Upstream network, you can check the level of available capacity before booking your capacity.

You can transfer all or part of your capacity on some points of the upstream network.


16

2.3 Subscribing capacity on the Upstream Netwok The TRANS@ction portal allows you to subscribe capacity on the following points of the network :

o Network Interconnection Points o North/South Link o H-gas to L-gas and L-gas to H-gas Conversion Points o Transmission-Production Interface Point

NB : On Transmission-Storage Interface Points and Transmission-LNG Terminal Interface Points, GRTgaz applies an automatic capacity allocation. In the portal you can check the capacity that has been allocated. The TRANS@ction portal allows you also to track your capacity transfers :

o Full capacity transfers o Transfers of capacity right-of-use

2.3.1 MT/LT capacity request

A MT / LT capacity request could be multi-annual, seasonal, annual, seasonal or monthly . The process for booking MT / LT capacity in TRANS@ctions includes four steps :

1. Consulting commercialised and available capacity 2. Searching for the corresponding Capacity Offer 3. Creating, Saving and Confirming your capacity request 4. Tracking your request


17

Step 1 : Consulting available capacity Click on « Capacities & Services> Manage your LT/MT Main Network Request> Consult the Marketed Capacities » on the top bar menu or the homepage menu :

NB : You can consult any file published by GRTgaz (at kWh 25°C or MWh 0°C) or download them in csv or xml formats (at kWh 25 °C). These files are updated by GRTgaz at least 3 times a month. Step 2 : Searching for the corresponding Capacity Offer Click on « Capacities & Services > Manage your LT/MT Main Network Request > Create a Capacity Request » on the top bar menu or the homepage menu :


18

Offer Coding Principle : Contractual Point Code – Flow direction – Type of Capacity (firm/interruptible) – Type of Subscription (annual/seasonal/monthly) NB : If you enter the first letters of the Code or the PCR name, all offers associated with this PCR will be displayed (regardless of the type of capacity or type of subscription).

Step 3 : Creating, Saving and Confirming a MT/LT capacity request Life cycle of a MT/LT capacity request and related status:

21

Remember to save and confirm the request, because requests will only be processed by GRTgaz if they have been confirmed (i.e. “Sent” status).

Step 4 : Tracking the request Click on « Capacities & Services > Manage your LT/MT Main Network Request > Create a Capacity Request » on the top bar menu or the homepage menu :


22

Click on the reference of the request to display the details:


23

2.3.2 Requests for Short Term capacity : Daily and Auctions

Life cycle of a Short Term capacity request in TRANS@ctions and related status :

The process for a ST capacity request in TRANS@ctions includes three steps :

1. Consulting available capacity 2. Creating, Confirming and Tracking your capacity request 3. Checking the auction results if any

Step 1 : Checking available capacity

Click on « Capacities & Services > Manage your Short Term Main Network Request > Consult The Short Term Available Capacities » on the top bar menu or the homepage menu :


24

NB : Click on the « Daily capacity request » link to access directly to the capacity request screen.

Step 2 : Creating/Confirming/Tracking a ST capacity request Click on « Capacities & Services > Manage your Short Term Main Network Request » or Capacities & Services > Manage your Auctions Requests » on the top bar menu or the homepage menu to get access to the creation and confirmation submenus of your ST capacity request :

2.3.3 Requests for “Auction” capacity

Life cycle of a request for Auction capacity in TRANS@ctions

Step 3 : Checking results and the auction price Click on « Capacities & Services > Manage your Auctions Requests > Consult The auction results » on the top bar menu or the homepage menu :

The procedures are similar to those for MT/LT requests. The main difference is that the request does not need to be registered, as it can be approved directly after initialisation. In the case of an auctions capacity request, enter a level of capacity and an auction price in € / MWh 0°C (whatever the unit chosen for the input).


25

NB: You can export the results of an auction in a csv file by clicking on the "Export .csv" button.

2.3.4 Capacity transfers

Full capacity transfers : In the case of a full transfer, all the rights and obligations relating to the transferred capacity are transferred from the transferor to the transferee. The full rights and obligations being transferred, the full transfer impacts the level of subscribed capacities of each shipper. The full capacity transfers can be made via Capsquare or joint notification (e-mail then letter) to GRTgaz. In both cases, the capacity acquired and transferred are updated and can be consulted via TRANS@ctions in the Capacities Portfolio (PSC) menu. Transfers of capacity right-of-use : In the case of a right-of-use transfer, the transferor shipper (first holder of the capacity) continues to be liable to GRTgaz for all the obligations relating to the capacity on which the right of use has been transferred. The shipper receiving the transfer, for their part, acquires the use of that capacity. The transfer therefore impacts on the operational capacity of both shippers concerned, and not on the capacity subscribed for by the transferor. The transfers of capacity right-of-use on the Upstream Network are made exclusively on Capsquare.


26

The capacity acquired and transferred is updated and can be accessed via TRANS@ctions in the Services and Capacities Portfolio (PSC). Checking your acquired and/or transferred capacities in the Services and Capacities Portfolio (PSC).

Click « Capacities & Services > Consult your subscribed Capacities & Services > Consult your Services &

Capcity Portolio D or M » on the top bar menu or the homepage menu, then click on the icon to display the details of your subscribed capacities on the concerned point :

Offer Coding Principle : Contractual Point Code – Flow direction – Type of Capacity (firm/interruptible/empty) – Type of Subscription (annual/seasonal/monthly/daily) NB : If you don't fill the "Capacity type" field on the regional network, you will create a single request for firm and interruptible capacities

Step 2: Creating, Saving and Validating your request The procedure is the same as for Upstream Network Requests. The corresponding input screen is below :


29

NB: By clicking on "Monthly Services and Capacities Portfolio", you can check the yearly and monthly capacities that you have already subscribed on this point. As on the Upstream Network, you can make a feasibility request or a Reservation.

From now on, you must enter the extra capacity you need, regardless the time step of your subscription. If you have already subscribed the capacity on this point and you want to change it to higher level of capacity, you must enter a positive request. Similarly, if you have already subscribed the capacity on this point and you want to change it to lower this level of subscription, you must enter a negative request.

Step 3 : Tracking your requests Click on « Capacities & Services > Manage your Regional Network Requests > Consult your Capacity Requests » on the top bar menu or the homepage menu :


30

2.4.2 Manage your Right of Use Transfers (RoU)

During a Right of Use Transfer of downstream capacities on a delivery point, the transferor shipper is allowed to transfer the Operational downstream capacity, while keeping it in its contractual portfolio. The Right of Use Transfer covers at least a full month and must be entered in TRANS@ctions before the 15th of month M-1 to start the first of the month M. For the Right of Use Transfer on a Delivery Point, the whole capacity on the dedicated point will be transferred (annual, monthly, daily, firm or interruptible) and any new subscription during the transfer period will automatically be transferred to the transferee. Re-transferring a transferred capacity is not permitted. You can cancel a RoU (before starting) or interrupt (once started) by informing GRTgaz. Life-cycle of a RoU Request in TRANS@ctions and related status :


31

Step 1 : The Transferor creates the RoU request Click « Capacities & Services > Manage your Regional Network Transfer of Right-of-Use > Create a TRU Request » on the top bar menu or the homepage menu :

Step 2 : The Transferee accepts the RoU request Click « Capacities & Services > Manage your Regional Network Transfer of Right-of-Use > Consult your TRU Request » on the top bar menu or the homepage menu :

Click on the request reference to view its details and accept it :


33

NB : Once the request has been processed by GRTgaz, both Shippers are notified by a specific alert and both Shippers Portfolios are updated.

2.4.3 Capacities on Distribution Points (PITD)

Standardized Subscription principle All capacity subscribed on any PITD is allocated in a standardized way, whatever the subscription type (annual/monthly/daily), on the basis of the information sent by the Distribution System Operators.
