Dear Sir or Madam,
Trading Hub Europe (THE) is inviting bids for the provision of balancing services in the period from January 2022 up to and including March 2022 in order to meet its long-term balancing requirements in the multi-quality market area of Trading Hub Europe, with bids being requested for the supply of gas by providers (SystemBUY) on a ‘Rest-of-the-Day’ basis (product variant ‘RoD’) under the ‘Long-Term Options’ (LTO) balancing product.
THE is procuring the reserves set out below to secure its market area against so-called ‘dynamic effects’ arising in the individual balancing zones and to increase the security of the gas supply in accordance with the 2015 policy paper on gas supply security published by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy (BMWi).
