Code amendment decision regarding the discount for interruptible capacity

The Authority for Consumers and Markets (ACM) has taken a decision to amend the discount percentages for interruptible capacity. The amended discounts follow from the fact that, in its calculations thereof, ACM took into consideration the recent interruptions. This is an amendment to the Tariff Code Gas.

With this code amendment decision ACM fulfills the consultation requirement of article 28 NC-TAR. This article requires the ACM to yearly consult the multipliers, seasonal factors, the discount for LNG facilities and the discount for interruptible capacity. ACM leaves the multipliers, seasonal factors, the discount for LNG facilities unchanged.

With this decision, ACM sets the discount percentages for interruptible capacity on the basis of the calculated probability of interruption for each entry and exit point. Also, when setting these percentages, ACM distinguishes between discounts for interruptible entry-capacity and for interruptible exit-capacity, where the realized interruptions give reason to do so. The discount for a specific network point reflects the probability of interruption at that specific point.

If there are differences between the Dutch version and the English version, the Dutch version will prevail.
