  3. 1 Introduction

  4. Content of the Info Memo MAIN POINTS INCLUDED IN THE INFO MEMO • Background. • Capacities (market structure/capacities offered) / infrastructures. • Allocation Process. • Schedule. • Tariff Visibility. • Economic Test. • Requirements to participate in the OS. • Joint Allocation Office. • Contact. NRAs

  5. 2 Capacities

  6. MidCat and Biriatou capacities • Biriatou capacities to be included in the 2nd Phase. • Possible development scenarios for MidCat have been studied, maintaining in any case the same technical capacity from South to North (230 GWh/d). • All capacity will be jointly offered, and, if the OS is totally successful, all capacity will be developed. However, only MidCat or Biriatou might be developed if the OS is partially successful, according to the result of the Economic Test. This might have implications for coordinated requests, which will be described in the Information Memorandum, since MidCat and Biriatou imply different probabilities of development of the North-South link in France. • The possibility to decrease by 10% the amount of capacity reserved for short-term needs at the border has been discussed, in order to increase the probability of passing the Economic Test. Capacity split (80/20 or 90/10) to be clarified by NRAs

  7. Capacity reserved for short-term needs in Spain • According to Royal Decree 949/2001: • “Las empresas transportistas destinarán a contratos de duración inferior a dos años al menos el 25 % de la suma de las capacidades de sus instalaciones de regasificación, almacenamiento y entrada al sistema de transporte y distribución. Cada comercializador no podrá acceder a más de un 50 % de las capacidades destinadas a este fin. Estos porcentajes podrán ser revisados por el Ministerio de Economía en función de la evolución del mercado.” • According to Ministerial Order ITC/2607/2008, from 11th September 2008, which establishes the rules to be applied in the allocation of capacities at interconnection points with France: • “La capacidad ofertada se dividirá, para su asignación, en capacidad a largo plazo y capacidad a corto • plazo. Con carácter general, en cada convocatoria se determinará el reparto entre capacidad ofertada • largo plazo y capacidad ofertada a corto plazo, con el objetivo de que se garantice que un mínimo • del 20 por ciento de la capacidad total en el punto de interconexión quede destinada a • contratos de capacidad a corto plazo, y teniendo en cuenta la viabilidad económica de las • infraestructuras.” • Although offering 90% of the capacity under long-term contracts is not in contradiction with Royal Decree 949/2001, it could be in conflict with Ministerial Order ITC/2607/2008. However, such order already takes into account infrastructures viability, and, if the 90/10 split was agreed, it should not be a mayor concern because the Order can be easily modified.

  8. Market structure • Capacity will be offered under the same market structure included in the 1st Phase, with three balancing zones in France and one in Spain: • Although it was agreed to include IP 4 (known as IP H during the non-biding round) in the 2nd Phase, some stakeholders in France claim that such capacity should be allocated on a second round once the allocation at the other IPs (1-2-3-5-6) is known. Inclusion of IP 4 (IP H during the non-binding round) to be clarified by NRAs

  24. Requirements to participate in the OS NON-DISCLOSURE AGREEMENT • Shippers willing to participate in the 2nd Phase of the Open Season must sign and submit the Non-Disclosure Agreement. This is identical to the one published for the 1st Phase. • Shippers having already signed and submitted the NDA during the 1st Phase do not need to take any further action, since the NDA is valid. LICENSES • In France, shippers are not require to obtain any license in advance in order to participate in the 2nd Phase of Open Season. • In Spain, the Service Directive* has already been transposed by Law 25/2009. Article 80 of the Hydrocarbons Law has been modified, and thus, it is not necessary to go through the former authorisation process. However, a communication of the starting of activity, and a declaration that all duties are fulfilled, is still required.
