3.3.2 Nomination and Re-nomination Provisions for Bundled Capacities
22) AB Amber Grid is currently interconnected just with the transmission system of Latvia which has derogation based on Article 49 of
Directive No 2009/73 and BAL NC is not applied to Latvia, bundled capacity is not offered. Estonia holding derogation does not apply
the rules for bundled capacity.
23) See Section 3.3.1 hourly re-nomination cycle and standard re-nomination lead-time of hours for further information regarding
IP Remich in Luxembourg.
24) See also footnote 21
25) See section 3.3.1 hourly re-nomination cycle and standard re-nomination lead-time of two hours for further information.
26) Last available information with the following order: weekly planning, monthly planning.
(See Snam Rete Gas Network Code (chapter 8, paragraph 6.3) at
27) In Italy there is a different rule other than “lesser rule” and “zero rule”. The rule in place is agreed with the adjacent TSOs even if it is not the
same they implemented.
28) In Bulgaria the default nomination rule is agreed for all IPs of our system except the IP with Greece – Kulata/Sidirokastro.
Where TSOs offer bundled capacities at IPs, the
nomination and re-nomination provisions
according to Article 12(3) of BAL NC shall also
apply to single nominations and re-nominations
for bundled capacity products. 20 countries22)
(AT, BE/LU23), BG, CZ, DE, ES, FR, HR, HU, IE,
IT, NL, PL, PT, RO, SI, SK, UK-GB and UK-NI)
reported having applied the same rules for
unbundled and bundled capacity products.
Greece reported applying the same rules for
bundled and unbundled capacities. However
these rules are not compatible with the applica-
ble provisions of BAL NC24). Four other countries
including Estonia (DK, LT25) and SE) responded
not applying the same rules for unbundled and
for bundled capacity. Denmark indicated that
the single nomination will be implemented later
this year.
Many countries applying the same rules,
reported cooperating with adjacent TSO for the
purpose of implementing nomination and re-
nomination rules for bundled capacity products
at IPs. On-going processes have been indicated
for some IPs. (See outcome of co-operations in
3.3.3 Agreed Default Nomination Rule with Adjacent TSO if Valid
Nomination (before deadline) is Not Sent by NU
In absence of a valid nomination sent by the net-
work user before the nomination deadline, the
respective TSO shall apply the default nomina-
tion rule agreed between these TSOs.
In total 23 countries including Estonia (AT, BG,
BE/LU, DE, DK, EL, ES, FR, HR, HU, IE, IT26),
LT, NL, PT, RO, SE, SK, SI, UK-GB and UK-NI)
confirmed having a default nomination rule
agreed for this case with the adjacent TSO. Two
countries (CZ and PL) indicated no agreement
with adjacent TSO.
Mainly two default rules (“lesser rule” and
“zero”) are reported by 22 countries as a default
nomination rule. In the matching process at IPs
where both default rules are indicated by the ad-
jacent TSOs the application of the zero rule
would finally apply. In case of receiving no valid
nomination before the nomination deadline, the
TSO would apply zero for the shipper nomina-
tion in the matching process. Where the lesser
of rule applies in the matching process, no gas
flow would ultimately occur.
Exceptions are indicated by three countries (BG,
RO and IT27)). Bulgaria and Romania which take
the last confirmed nomination into account at IP
Negru Voda 1 and by Italy where a weekly and
monthly planning is taken into account. In five
countries (BG28), CZ, EL, SK and PL) the default
nomination rules currently in place have yet to
be agreed for all IPs. (Details can be found in ta-
ble 3.5 in Annex III.
The interconnection points (IPs) where hourly
and daily nominations coexist in twelve coun-
tries (BE, CZ, DE, FR, HU, IT, LU, NL, PL, SI, SK
and UK-GB) can be found in
Table 3.6 in Annex III also lists the countries
where NRAs have determined at hat the
nomination and renomination procedures are
required at points other than the IPs.
