YEARLY CAPACITY PRODUCTS ALLOCATION PROCEDURE

Dear partners,

We would herewith like to inform you that in connection with the obligations under Regulation (ЕU) 2017/459 establishing a network code on capacity allocation mechanism in gas transmission networks Bulgartransgaz EAD will carry out an yearly capacity products allocation procedure for gas year 2018/2019 on the RBP in line with ENTSOG’s standard auction calendar, namely on 02.07.2018 for firm products, and on 16.07.2018 for interruptible products, at 10.00 am local time (07.00 UTC).

The tables below display the capacity products for 2018/2019 gas year at interconnection points and at transfer point between the NGTN and GTNTT to be offered in the procedures on 02.07.2018 and 16.07.2018, and you are kindly asked to note that in line with article 32, §9 of Regulation (ЕU) 2017/459 and item 9 of the preamble of the Regulation, interruptible capacity is only offered if firm capacity is not available.

The capacity products as announced by Bulgartransgaz EAD have undergone a bundle procedure in line with article 19, §1 of the Regulation. When buying bundled capacity the network user received entry and exit capacity on both sides of the interconnection point.

If bundling of the firm capacity products on the RBP proves impossible and if there will be differences between the technical and bundled capacity products, such capacities shall be offered as unbundled capacity products (ensuring capacity at the respective interconnection point only in Bulgartransgaz EAD gas transmission network).

Please note that the capacity of the transfer point is allocated in line with the bundled product principle (the user receives capacity on both sides of the point) regardless that the capacity will be indicated on the RBP as unbundled for technical reasons.

We would like to note that interested parties who are not registered network users of Bulgartransgaz EAD gas transmission network in line with 10а of the Rules for access to the gas transmission and/or gas distribution networks and the gas storage facilities in force as of 27.12.2016 must submit an Access Application together with the following documents:

- trade register excerpt in the applicant’s country proving applicant’s updated legal status;

- excerpt from the trade register or other competent authority in line with the national legislation, proving that the applicant is not in insolvency proceedings and has not been declared in liquidation or insolvency.

Template of the Access Application can be found here.

The Application together with the accompanying documents can be submitted at any time within the working days – in person, via registered mail or courier, in Bulgartransgaz EAD main office, Sofia, residential area Lyulin 2, 66 Pancho Vladigerov blvd. or by an e-mail to: access@bulgartransgaz.bg
