Network Code / Guideline
Road Map
Notes: 1) Short term UIOLI may not be required for NTS
2) Long term capacity auctions may need to be delivered in conjunction with short term auctions
2. EU Code Updates
Gas allocations at IPs under the EU Interoperability
Code
Background – the current GB
allocations regime
 The GB commercial regime has always kept
‘transportation’ and ‘energy’ responsibilities separate
 Shippers are allocated gas according to measured
quantities
 Shippers use allocation agents to administer allocations
on their behalf based on measured quantities - and to
send allocation statements to NG
8
Background – Interoperability
Code provisions and stakeholder views
 TSOs must agree a nomination matching rule/process
and for this to be included in the Interconnection
Agreement (IA)
 ‘allocate as nominate with Operational Balancing
Account (OBA)’ allocation rule envisaged, and for the
allocation rule to be included in the IA*
 OBA favoured by IUK, BBL and supported by Gaslink –
NG working with adjacent TSOs to facilitate OBAs
(retaining NG’s residual balancing role)
*for any IP, an OBA will be used if at least 1
TSO wants this arrangement.
9
What is an OBA?
Nominates 4 Units
Shipper
TSO
Allocates 4 Units
4.01 Units steered
Across the IP
Operational
Balancing
Account
= (4 – 4.01)
= 0.01
• GB current regime: 4.01 units would be allocated to shippers and
scheduling charges apply for the 0.01 ‘steering error’
• OBA regime: 0.01 is allocated to the OBA which is corrected by a
subsequent physical steer of flow between TSOs
OBA key issues and implications
 Size of steering tolerance
 Interactions with other aspects of the GB regime
 Steering tolerance breaches must be minimised in order
to comply with the Interoperability Code
 An option in relation to breaches in steering tolerance is
reversion to allocate as measured
11
National Grid NTS’
proposed approach (1)
 An allocate as nominate regime appears to remove the
need for an agent to administer allocations on shippers’
behalf
 …therefore, NG’s proposed approach is to perform
matching / allocation process directly with adjacent TSO,
as envisaged by the Code (No Agents)
 Shippers could continue to be able to nominate agents
for other communications under UNC TPD V
12
National Grid NTS’ proposed approach (2)
 ‘De-designate’ IP allocation agents in order to enable
direct TSO-TSO arrangements under ‘allocate as
nominate with OBA’
 National Grid NTS to liaise with Ofgem before issuing
Notice to Users of intent to de-designate, with briefing
note - via Joint Office
 National Grid NTS to ensure Notice period is sufficient
(issued by Sept 2014) to enable changes by Users and
Agents to their own agreements

Summary and next steps
 National Grid NTS considers that an OBA allocation
regime will be required at all three IPs
 Changes will be required both to the Interconnection
Agreements and UNC
 We propose to engage in parallel with our adjacent
TSOs and GB shippers to agree the OBA design
 Interactions with other aspects of the GB regime will
also be explored (e.g. constraint management, meter
reconciliation)
 Progress update to be shared at the June European
Workgroup meeting

EU Tariff Code update - issues
 Fixed Price vs Floating price at IPs
 ACER clearly states only Floating is allowed (i.e. the price paid at time of
use will not be the same as price allocated in auction)
 Strong shipper feedback to retain option of allowing fixed price – especially
for incremental capacity.
 Initial Draft Code from ENTSOG likely to allow both Fixed & Floating
 Shorthaul at IPs at risk due to loss of commodity charge at IPs
 NG working with ENTSOG to preserve this product
 Mitigation measures: shippers pushing for one-off reset of long-term capacity
contracts when Code comes into effect (i.e. right to cancel contracts due to
application of different pricing methodology)
 NG has requested ENTSOG legal team to see if Tariff Code can legally include
provisions to allow this option.
 Standardisation of Gas Tariff Year (1 Jan vs 1 Oct)
 problems for GB if 1 Jan chosen (would create price volatility)
For further information, please contact Colin Hamilton ([email protected], 07971 760360)
EU Incremental Amendment update
 Incremental Amendment to CAM Code will deliver:
 A standardised way for market participants to flag appetite for
incremental /new capacity
 A standardised process to ensure a minimal level of cross
border TSO/NRA coordination
 A standardised process to establish economic viability of an
incremental/new capacity project with local input parameters
 An integrated offer of incremental and existing capacity via
CAM NC auction process
 Principles for Open Season Procedures in case auctions
cannot be used
 Possibilities to adjust tariff or depreciation rate in case
economic viability cannot be established in existing framework
EU Incremental Amendment update
 Incremental Amendment being develop together with Tariff Code, thus:
 ENTSOG Stakeholder Joints Working Sessions now complete
 ENTSOG now developing draft Amendment based on ACER Guidance
Document and taking account of stakeholder feedback received during
SJWS process
 Code based on published Business Rules
 http://www.entsog.eu/publications/incremental-capacity#5-BUSINESSRULES
 Draft INC Amendment due for approval within ENTSOG’s internal
governance process by mid-May
 Public Consultation on the draft INC amendment will take place from the
end of May to the end of July
 Next Stakeholder Workshop – 24th June

CAM & Bacton Modifications
29
CAM UNC Modification Outline
 Key features of proposal:
 Applicable to European Interconnection points - Bacton (IUK and BBL) and
Moffat
 An EU set of standard capacity products for both entry and exit (yearly,
quarterly, monthly, daily and within day) and cessation of Enduring Annual
NTS Exit (Flat) Capacity at IPs
 An EU standard capacity auction calendar
 EU standard capacity auction designs (Ascending Clock and Uniform
Price)
 Priority given to cross-border bundling of unsold capacity products
 Set aside capacity from longer term auctions for shorter term auctions at
IPs
 Capacity originally allocated as cross-border bundled capacity can only be
resold as bundled capacity on the secondary market
CAM UNC Modification Outline
 A joint booking platform for the offer and purchase of capacity at
interconnection points
 Charging arrangements
 Transitional arrangements
 Adapting pre-existing CMP solutions to apply to CAM products and auction
processes where appropriate.
Bacton UNC Modification Outline
 Create new points in Gemini:
 Bacton UKCS ASEP
 Bacton IP ASEP
 Write out to individual Shippers
 Ask them to decide where they want their existing Bacton rights post
split to be
 Principle is to allocate only up to new obligated levels
 If aggregate requirements less than obligated, allocate in full
 Else second invitation – again allocate in full if below obligated level
 Else need to pro-rate back to obligated level (and allocate surplus
to ‘other’ point)
 Reallocation process to run after March 2015 QSEC is allocated
 To be completed by September 2015
