ENTSOG Tariff NC - Implementation Document 2nd Edition

Early compliance with publication requirements for ENTSOG’s TP and for TSO/NRA website

Although the compliance date with the TAR NC obligation to publish tariff information occurs later as Figure 37 shows, it was decided to publish some tariff information earlier. Therefore, from October 2017 to December 2017 certain information will be published on ENTSOG’s TP for all Member States and on the websites of TSOs/NRAs for certain Member States. This decision stands for an ‘earlier compliance with pub- lication requirements’ since otherwise, ENTSOG’s TP and TSO/NRA website would have to be updated only before the respective tariff period and the capacity auction following the application date for Chapter VIII ‘Publication requirements’ of 1 October 2017. To ensure the additional transparency for stakeholders and easy accessibility of the applicable tariffs, it was decided in favour of the early compliance with certain publication requirements as follows: \\ In December 2017 the tariffs applicable for the current gas year (1 October 2017– 30 September 2018) will be published on the ENTSOG’s TP in the standardised table. This ‘earlier compliance’ covers the reserve prices (for all MSs) and the flow-based charges (for MSs whose tariff period is other than one year or other than January –December). The ‘earlier compliance’ with publica- tion of the flow-based charges for the current tariff period does not refer to MSs with one-year January –December tariff period as they are anyhow obliged to publish in December the flow-based charges for the future tariff period. \\ By the end of 2017 the revenue information for the current tariff period will be published on the TSO/NRA website for MSs whose tariff period is other than one year and other than January –December. This ‘earlier compliance’ covers the applicable revenue information according to Article 30(1)(b). The ‘earlier compliance’ with publication of the revenue information for the current tariff period does not refer to MSs with one-year January –December tariff period as they are anyhow obliged to publish in December the revenue information for the future tariff period.
