Article 9 Rules for the allocation of gas quantities

In respect of the allocation of gas quantities, the F1adjacent TSOs shall establish rules ensuring consistency between the allocated quantities at both sides of the interconnection point.

Unless otherwise agreed in the interconnection agreement, the transmission system operators shall use an operational balancing account. The transmission system operator in control of the measurement equipment shall recalculate the operational balancing account with validated quantities and communicate it to the F2adjacent TSOs.

Where an operational balancing account applies:

Where the defined limits of the operational balancing account are reached, the adjacent TSOs may agree to extend those limits in order to provide allocations to network users that are equal to their confirmed quantities or otherwise allocate quantities to network users proportionally based on the measured quantity.

The adjacent TSOs may agree to maintain or implement an allocation rule other than the operational balancing account, provided that this rule is published and network users are invited to comment on the proposed allocation rule within at least two months after publication of the allocation rule.
