Seasonal factors methodology based on gas flows or
contracted capac ty
Article 15(2) stipulates that the methodology for calculating seasonal factors must
consider forecasted gas flows, unless the gas flow for at least one month is 0. In such
a case, the methodology should be based on contracted capacity.
Seasonal factors are corrective factors based on a multiplicative formula applied on
flows. It is logical to apply higher factors when demand is high, because that is when
the network capacity is most used.
