Information about the tariff structure

Gasunie Deutschland Transport Services GmbH (GUD) as TSO publishes the capacity charge for grid access for the first three quarters of the calendar year 2021, which is valid at cross-border and market area interconnection points as well as storages (capacity charge). Due to the market area merger as of 01.10.2021 the capacity charge for the fourth quarter of 2021 for the single German market area Trading Hub Europe (“THE”) will be published at a later date, when decision REGENT 2021 (BK9-19/610), which is currently under consultation, is available. The tariff relevant regulations of REGENT 2021 are expected to take effect as from 01.10.2021.
Due to regulatory requirements (decisions REGENT (BK9-18/611-GP) and AMELIE (BK9-18/607)), reference prices of GUD were reduced with effect from 01.01.2020. However, these regulatory requirements have been appealed by third parties. The appeal procedures are still pending and from a current perspective, it cannot be excluded that in the course of and as a result of these legal disputes the regulatory requirements could be changed and thus the reference prices could be increased both for the future and retroactively. This is why GUD reserves the right to amend the reserve prices on the basis of legal / regulatory decisions. In addition, GUD reserves the right to request the difference between the reference price paid by the shipper and the new reference price established on the basis of a legal / regulatory decision. GUD will inform as soon as GUD knows the outcome of the legal disputes.
