Information Market Area Conversion

In this area, Trading Hub Europe publishes a list (yes/no) for each gas day after the delivery month as to whether opposed external system balancing actions were taken on the same gas day in the H-Gas (System Buy) and L-Gas (System Sell), quality products according to rank 2 of the merit order list. Before creating the partial balance according to KoV § 9 (1), network operators can use this publication to check whether opposed external system balancing actions were taken on the same gas day (H-gas (System buy) and L-gas (System sell), quality products according to rank 2 of the merit order list) in the market area (yes). In case no opposed external system balancing actions were taken on the same gas day during the period in question (no), the grid operator does not need to create and transmit the partial balance and the market area manager does not need to return it and calculate the zero amount. The market area manager invoices the network operator via credit note or invoice. The credit note or invoice is sent by the market area manager to the network operator by M+4M at the latest.
