Fluxys Belgium and Interconnector – Simplification of the Zeebrugge Area and Integration of the Belux Market Area and Interconnector on hold
Based on the mixed feedback received during the consultation on the proposals aimed at simplifying the Zeebrugge Area and the arrangements relating to the Interconnection Point with Interconnector, have Fluxys Belgium and Interconnector concluded that the current timing for revising its market model is not right, and have therefore decided to put this initiative on hold. This means that both the ZTP Physical and Notional trading services will remain, as will the Zeeplatform and the interconnection points at Zeebrugge and IZT.

Product description

Entry services

With entry services, you inject a quantity of natural gas into the Belgian transmission grid via an Interconnection Point.

Exit services

With exit services, you easily transfer natural gas from the Belgian Transmission grid at an Interconnection Point and transport it to an adjacent market area or to supply a Belgian end consumer through a domestic exit point.

Entry and exit services automatically give you access to the ZTP Trading Point and to the flexibility offered by the market based balancing system.

Types of capacity

Firm capacity

Always available

Backhaul capacity

In the opposite direction of the physical gas flow direction
Usable as long as the resulting physical flow remains in the physical direction of the interconnection point.

How to book?

Use PRISMA to book the required capacity at your selected interconnection points.
