ENTSOG Tariff NC - Implementation Document 2nd Edition

Annex H Article 12(3) – Example of Fixed Payable Price (Binding beyond the Subsequent Gas Year) and Floating Payable Price FIXED PAYABLE PRICE A TSO is regulated under the price cap regime. The tariff period matches the gas year. Fixed payable price approach is offered for the reserve price for the yearly standard capacity product. In June (30 days before the July auction), the TSO publishes binding tariffs for such products for the upcoming gas year from October Y to September Y+1. In the July auction for gas year 1, Network User 1 buys yearly standard capacity product over 10 consecutive years starting from gas year 1. The payable price for all booked capacity products over the period of 10 years is the reserve price for yearly standard capacity product published in the price decision valid in gas year 1 and the indexation is applied on it. Further, the risk premium reflecting the benefits of certainty regarding the level of transmission tariff could be added on top, if decided by NRA. Also, the auction premium, if any, is added on top. (Please see table 58, Network User 1) In the July auction for gas year 2, Network User 2 buys yearly standard capacity product over 9 consecutive years, starting from gas year 2. Again the payable price for all booked capacity products over the period of 9 years is the reserve price for yearly standard capacity product published in the price decision valid in gas year 2 and the indexation is applied on it. Further, the risk premium reflecting the benefits of certainty regarding the level of transmission tariff could be added on top, if decided by NRA. Also, the auction premium, if any, is added on top. (Please see table 59, Network User 2) The fixed payable price in each year is calculated according to the formula set in Article 24 (b) of TAR NC.
