2.7.1 Types of Information According to Article 32 of BAL NC

BAL NC outlines the information that TSOs must provide to network users during the gas day since network users are responsible for balancing their balancing portfolios in order to minimise the need for TSOs to undertake balancing actions. This information, according to article 32 of BAL NC, covers:

The information provisions must be implement- ed by all countries.

23 respondents (AT, BE/LU, BG, CZ, DE, DK, EE, EL, ES, FR, HR, HU, IE, IT, LT, LV, NL, PL, PT, SI, SK, UK-GB and UK-NI) reported that all three types of information have been imple- mented and are provided to the network users by 1 October 2017. While 2 countries (SE and RO) partially implemented the provisions with two types of information.

1. Overall status of the transmission network;

2. The transmission system operator’s balancing actions; and

3. Network user’s inputs and off-takes for the gas day.
