Intraday metered inputs and off-takes
Article 34
1. For intraday metered inputs to and off-takes from the balancing zone, where a network user’s allocation equals its confirmed quantity, the transmission system operator shall not be obliged to provide information other than the confirmed quantity. 2. For intraday metered inputs to and off-takes from the balancing zone, where a network user’s allocation does not equal its confirmed quantity, on gas day D the transmission system operator shall provide network users with a minimum of two updates of their measured flows for at least the aggregate intraday metered inputs and off-takes according to either of the following two options, as decided by the transmission system operator: (a) each update covers gas flows from the beginning of this gas day D; or (b) each update covers incremental gas flows after that reported in the previous update. 3. The first updates shall cover at least four hours of gas flow within gas day D. These updates shall be provided without undue delay and within four hours after the gas flow and no later than 17:00 UTC (winter time) or 16:00 UTC (daylight saving). 4. The time of the second update provision shall be defined upon approval by the national regulatory authority and published by the transmission system operator. 5. The transmission system operator may request the network users to indicate which of the information referred to in paragraph 2 they have access to. Based on the response received, this transmission system operator shall provide the network user with the part of information it does not have access to, in accordance with paragraphs 2 to 4. 6. Where the transmission system operator is not responsible for apportioning the gas quantities between network users as part of the allocation process, as an exception to paragraph 2, it shall provide at least information on aggregate inputs and off-takes at a minimum of two times per gas day D on that gas day D.
