Market information on VIP implementation
Against the background of the market area merger on October 1st, 2021, the companies Fluxys TENP GmbH (Fluxys TENP), GASCADE Gastransport GmbH (GASCADE), Gasunie Deutschland Transport Services GmbH (GUD), GRTgaz Deutschland GmbH, GTG Nord GmbH (GTG), ONTRAS Gastransport GmbH, Open Grid Europe GmbH (OGE) and Thyssengas GmbH (TG) provide the following information for the upcoming annual auction.
THE-VIPs will not be offered for marketing in the upcoming annual auction. The first auction date for THE-VIPs will be communicated in good time before the VIP introduction.
Therefore, marketing at the existing NCG & GASPOOL VIPs and IPs will initially continue on a temporary basis. As soon as the new THE VIPs are set up, the transport contracts already concluded on the former VIPs will be transferred to the new THE -VIPs and the corresponding marketing TSO as described in the Supplementary Terms and Conditions of the transmission system operators (TSOs)
