Additional capacity at Überackern/Überackern 2

In the upcoming yearly auctions GAS CONNECT AUSTRIA GmbH will launch an incremental capacity pilot. Incremental capacity will be offered by GCA at the Austrian/German border for the entry/exit points Überackern SUDAL (corresponding bayernets point: Überackern 2) and Überackern ABG (corresponding bayernets point: Überackern) from the 1st October 2019 onwards.

Currently bayernets could realize additional, limited allocable capacity (BZK) in the following amount:

• Additional 2.621.000 kWh/h BZK at Überackern 2 Entry (9.589.000 kWh/h currently offered,  12.210.000 kWh/h possible)
• Additional 6.366.825 kWh/h BZK at Überackern 2 Exit (4.733.175 kWh/h currently offered, 11.100.000 kWh/h possible)

These additional capacities could be offered by bayernets to match with increased capacities on the Austrian side.

Furthermore, bayernets could be able to increase the limited allocable capacity (BZK) offered in Überackern and Überackern 2 after completion of the new gas transmission pipeline MONACO 1 (estimated: 4th quarter 2017).

bayernets templates: Inability to Use Capacity / Inability to Book Capacity

In rare cases errors occur during the booking procedure on PRISMA. With these occasional problems in mind bayernets has created two documents. These templates shall enable our customers to proceed with their bookings or the usage of capacity while systems are not available.

• Inability to Use Capacity (Unmöglichkeit der Nutzung der Kapazität)

This template can only be used for bookings that have already successfully been made on PRISMA (email confirmation/deal ID). During the subsequent processing of your booking an error might occur. This document will provide the basis for setting up your booking within our nomination management during system failures and making a regularly acquired capacity usable for the customer even outside normal working hours.

• Inability to Book Capacity (Unmöglichkeit der Buchung der Kapazität)

This template can be used for booking interruptible capacities. It may only be used if system failures exist and regular bookings are not possible. The form cannot be utilised for bypassing the conventional booking procedure or for acquiring firm capacity. Furthermore, it must not be used during planned maintenance measures as published on PRISMA.

Since it can be anticipated that these documents will mainly be applied in time-critical situations we kindly ask you to examine them previously.
