Flow Variations at Entry Transmission Workstream Martin Watson 1 st November 2007

© NGG Transmission Workstream 1 st November of 18 Objectives Overview of Flow Variations at Entry Rates of Delivery as defined by UNC Example of within day Flow Variations Frontloading/Backloading Flow Variations at Entry Oct 2006 – Sept 2007

© NGG Transmission Workstream 1 st November of 18 Flow Variations at Entry End of Day Measurement = 240 Gwh 5 0 Extent of Backloading = 80 Gwh Flow Variation = (EOD/24 * 16) - (Sum of to Hourly Volumes) = ( 240 x 16) - ( 5 x 16) 24 = = 80 Gwh hours

© NGG Transmission Workstream 1 st November of 18 Rates of Delivery Start of day nomination – 1/24 th rate of 1.2 mcm/hr Re-nomination to increase flow to 1.6 mcm/hr Re-nomination to increase flow to 1.8 mcm/hr Re-nomination to decrease flow to 0.6 mcm/hr UNC Section I Rates of Delivery Each User shall use all reasonable endeavours to secure that the requirements of paragraph are complied with……… (a) The rate at which it delivers gas to the Total system at a System Entry Point changes only with effect from the start of the day and (within the day) with effect from the Re-nomination Effective Time of a Re-nomination in respect of that point.

Impact on Capacity Release of Backloading/Frontloading

Conclusions

© NGG Transmission Workstream 1 st November of 18 Conclusions UNC obligations require Shippers to flow at a uniform rate, signalling any changes via the re-nomination process. When Shippers do not flow at a uniform rate, it effects the operational efficiency of the NTS and the ability to maximise the release of additional capacity e.g. discretionary interruptible. NGG and Shippers need to work together to minimise flow variations. However, if Entry Terminals consistently demonstrate behaviours that compromise the safe and efficient operation of the NTS, NGG will look to bring forward timely measures to address this issue.
