United Kingdom

Original text. Later amendments are not shown.

There are three types of within day obligations, each incentivising the network user for a specific objective as set out in this Article:

  1. (1)

    System-wide within day obligation

    shall be designed to provide incentives for network users to keep the transmission network within its operational limits and shall set out the following:

    1. (a)

      the operational limits of the transmission network within which it has to remain;

    2. (b)

      the actions the network users can undertake to keep the transmission network within the operational limits;

    3. (c)

      the consequential balancing actions of the transmission system operator when the operational limits of the transmission network are approached or reached;

    4. (d)

      the attribution of costs and/or revenues to the network users and/or consequences on the within day position of these network users resulting from balancing actions undertaken by the transmission system operator;

    5. (e)

      the related charge which shall be based on the individual within day position of the network user.

  2. (2)

    Balancing portfolio within day obligation

    shall be designed to incentivise network users to keep their individual position during the gas day within a pre-defined range and shall set out the following:

    1. (a)

      for each balancing portfolio the range within which this balancing portfolio has to stay;

    2. (b)

      how the range referred to above is determined;

    3. (c)

      the consequences for network users not staying within the defined range and, where appropriate, details of how any corresponding charge is derived;

    4. (d)

      the related charge which shall be based on the individual within day position of the network user.

  3. (3)

    Entry-exit point within day obligation

    shall be designed to provide incentives for network users to limit the gas flow or the gas flow variation under specific conditions at specific entry-exit points and shall set out the following:

    1. (a)

      the limits in the gas flow and/or the gas flow variation;

    2. (b)

      the entry and/or exit point or groups of entry and/or exit points to which such limits apply;

    3. (c)

      the conditions under which such limits shall apply;

    4. (d)

      the consequences of not complying with such limits.

This obligation is additional to any other agreements with final costumers containing, amongst other things, localised specific restrictions and obligations regarding the physical gas flow.
