IDM 1st update “no later than 5pm (UTC)”

* In Variant 2 the TSO provides the network users with a forecast of their NDM off-takes for gas day D already on D-1 no later than 12:00 (UTC).

** In Germany according to BAL NC, the MAM/TSO shall provide network users with a minimum of two updates of their measured flows on the gas day D. This obligation has already been implemented with the determination on business processes for change of gas supplier (GeLi Gas determination, annex to decision BK7-06-067 of 20 August 2007, “Metered value transmission” process, 1.6.2., no. 4), because on this basis hourly metered values are to be sent to the network users every hour – not just updates on two occasions. On the basis of these information, the grid users are able to undertake within day trades at the virtual trading point or physical nominations and thus to balance their portfolio.

Additionally, the MAM provided in the period 1 October 2015 until 30 September 2016 once a day metered values for IDM consumers. And by 1 October 2016 the MAM provided twice a day metered values for IDM consumers to the balancing group manager.
