Role of Storage Facilities
Flexibility market I
 Storage is not the only relevant market. There are other
tools offering flexibility to network users, traders and
consumers.
 Flexibility services are for instance:
 Interruptible Contracts
 Contractual swing
 Production swing
 Short term contracts
 Linepack etc.

Role of Storage Facilities
Flexibility market II
All these products including storage facilities
constitute the flexibility market, which is
characterised by a functioning competition.
In principle, a regulatory approach would thus be
superfluous and inappropriate.

Role of Storage Facilities
GTE Storage Study Group (SSG)
 Working group of storage operators and owners
 Members are most SSOs (e.g. Gasunie, Transgaz, BEB, Fluxys,
Wingas, Total, OMV, GdF, Transco, Ruhrgas, Gasum Oy, RWE,
Snam Rete gas, VNG) including independent SSOs as for example
Essent, RAG and Nafta.
 The aim is to facilitate the process of further developing the
EU-internal market for natural gas with respect to TPA to gas
storage facilities.
 Current task:
 Cooperation in establishing of GGPSSO in the Madrid process
by discussing the important issues with CEER, users, ERGEG
and the EU-Commission

Role of Storage Facilities
Development of Guidelines for Good TPA Practice for
Storage System Operators (GGPSSO) I
 Outcome of the Madrid Forum VIII from 8th – 9th July 2004:
 Expressed demand for minimum requirements of nondiscriminatory and transparent access to storage facilities.
 Key elements should include range of services, capacity
allocation and congestion management mechanisms,
transparency and confidentiality requirements, tariff structures
and tariff derivations.
 Application and implementation of the GGPSSO at the latest at
the beginning of the next storage year (1st April 2005).

Development of Guidelines for Good TPA Practice for
Storage System Operators (GGPSSO) II
 Revised CEER/ERGEG Draft of GGPSSO from 6th
September 2004:
 Main GTE comments were not taken into account.
 New ERGEG consultation procedure imposes time
constraint on GTE.
Proposition of GTE to have further consultations
between CEER/ERGEG, GTE and other parties involved
e.g. by organising a second storage workshop in
October 2004

Role of Storage Facilities
Development of GGPSSO III
 Main points from GTE proposal :
 Priority to market based solutions.
 Preference for negotiated access where market conditions
permit.
 GTE supports common set of minimum requirements ensuring
transparency and non-discriminatory access.
 ERGEG deadline for implementation (April 2005) is not
realistic.
 Specific deadlines for the implementation of each service
along market needs and in consideration of technical and
economical constraints.

deadlines for the implementation of GGPSSO
(GTE Implementation plan)

Final Conclusion
The aim of the Commission and ERGEG to reach an
agreement on GGPSSO at the Madrid Forum IX 3rd
December 2004 and thus the success of Madrid IX is
strongly dependent on the progress in the cooperation
between GTE, ERGEG, users, CEER and the
Commission.
