1 Written procedure can be activated by Fluxys Belgium as fallback mechanism, should PRISMA or EBS platforms be unavailable. Entry and Exit Services on IPs, VIPs and LNG Terminals, Quality Conversion Services and on Domestic Points can also be implicitly allocated by Fluxys Belgium to network users in case overnomination is being activated for such Connection Point. Overnomination will be activated when all Firm Transmission Services are sold after the Firm Day-Ahead auction and after the Interruptible Day Ahead auction if any or as a all-back mechanism when PRISMA platform should be unavailable.

Implicit allocation of Transmission Services at Zeebrugge possible.

With the subscription of Dunkirk LNG Terminal entry capacity the associated Cross Border Delivery Service will be implicitly allocated meaning that they are matched in quantity, time and Capacity Type as described in ACT – Attachment A. No capacity will be allocable for a service period shorter than 1 gas day. The capacity will only be offered under the FCFS principle:

  • after a “call for market interest” has been organised by Dunkirk LNG Terminal and;
  • for the period
    o for which the total Dunkirk LNG Terminal Send Out capacity has been allocated or;
    o at least for the upcoming calendar year after a “call for market interest” organised by Dunkirk LNG Terminal 

5 When “Call for market interest” organized by Dunkirk LNG Terminal takes place, Dunkirk LNG Terminal entry capacity can be requested via written request. The written request for the Dunkirk LNG Terminal Entry capacity is possible until 5 calendar days after the final allocation of the Dunkirk LNG Terminal Send Out capacity (allocated as part of the CMI-process and/or the spare capacity allocation-process). The allocation of the Dunkirk LNG Terminal Entry capacity is done as of the 6th calendar day after the final allocation of the Dunkirk LNG Terminal Send Out capacity with a duration that is no longer than the allocated Dunkirk LNG Terminal send out capacity resulting from the final allocation of the Dunkirk LNG Terminal Send Out capacity. If the demand is higher than the offer, Services will be allocated pro rata the Dunkirk LNG Terminal Send Out capacity that has been allocated as part of the CMI-process and/or the spare capacity allocation-process and the pro rata rule will be applied for each calendar year individually. With the subscription of Dunkirk LNG Terminal entry capacity the associated Cross Border Delivery Service will be implicitly allocated meaning that they are matched in quantity, time and Capacity Type as described in ACT – Attachment A.

6 If PRISMA is not available, the TSO retains the option to offer the available capacity in writing. During this period of unavailability of the platform, the network user has the right to send the requests directly to the TSO in the correct form.

7 Commission Regulation EU (No) 984/2013 (CAM NC) has entered into force after its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union in late 2013 and is applicable since 1 November 2015; the allocation processes on PRISMA are based on this official version of the CAM NC.
