When to Publish

ARTICLE 31 PUBLICATION NOTICE PERIOD

Responsibility: publication by TSO/NRA, as NRA decides

General publication timescales

The figure below captures the two gas years as from October 2017, and illustrates the deadlines for publishing information: (1) before the annual yearly capacity auction; and (2) before the tariff period. For both sets of information, the publication notice period is the same – minimum 30 days. Chapter VIII ‘Publication requirements’ first applies on October 2017 (AD 2). However, the compliance date with the obligations foreseen in this Chapter occurs later, depending on the start date of the tariff period and the date of the annual yearly capacity auctions. For information to be published before the annual yearly capacity auctions, in all MSs the deadline is June 2018 for auctions in July 2018, and June 2019 for auctions in July 2019. For information to be published before the tariff period, the deadlines are: \\ December 2017 and December 2018 for publishing information before the tariff period January 2018–December 2018 and January 2019 – December 2019, respectively; \\ March 2018 and March 2019 for publishing information before the tariff period April 2018–March 2019 and April 2019–March 2020, respectively; \\ June 2018 and June 2019 for publishing information before the tariff period July 2018–June 2019 and July 2019–June 2020, respectively; \\ June 2018 and June 2019 for publishing information before the auctions in July 2018 and July 2019, respectively; \\ September 2018 and September 2019 for publishing information before the tariff period October 2018–September 2019 and October 2019–September 2020, respectively. Figure 37 covers only the four cases where the tariff period is equal to one year, and does not cover the tariff periods of greater than one year in Austria, Belgium and Slovakia.
