Should it be necessary to adjust your internal order during the year in accordance with Section 15 of the Cooperation Agreement Gas, please submit an amended internal order for the rest of the current calendar year, beginning with the subsequent month.
For this capacity adjustment, please send us the adjusted internal order by email using the Internal Order Submission Form by the 10th working day of the previous month. bayernets will reply to your adjusted internal order within 5 working days after receipt with an acceptance or explanation for rejection.
Long-term forecast
Within the framework of the internal order, you as a directly downstream grid operator of bayernets make a non-binding forecast of your demand for capacity or reserve capacity in accordance with Section 16 of the Cooperation Agreement Gas. The long-term forecast must be submitted by March 1st of every even-numbered calendar year at the latest. Submission is now made via the Marktabfrage Wasserstoff und LFP 2.0 platform.
Every two years, the long-term forecast helps us to present a joint, integrated plan for developing the network together with the other German transmission system operators. The Gas and Hydrogen Network Development Plan (NDP Gas and Hydrogen) sets out all effective measures for optimising, strengthening and developing the gas and hydrogen transport network in line with demand, thus ensuring supply security.
Definition of Protected Customers
As the BDEW announced here on its homepage, amendment of Section 53a in the EnWG was decided at the end of June 2021, which expanded the definition of protected customers. For upcoming internal orders, we kindly ask you, as a downstream network operator, to use the new definition when determining the share of protected customers.
