Flexibility and Temporary Storage
Tariff for the Flexibility Service and Tariff for Temporary Storage Service
Tariff for the allocation of the flexibility services starting from October 2019
According to Resolution 431/2019/R/Gas, the Italian Regulatory Authority for Energy, Networks and Environment (“Authority”) has approved tariff for the allocation of the flexibility services starting from October 2019.
The tariff for the services is composed by:
• a subscription fee (CSS) which allows to access both the Flexibility and the Temporary Storage Services;
• an activation fee (CAS and/or CBO) of the chosen service; and
• an erogation fee (CRF and/or CRS) of the chosen service.
Particularly:
• Flexibility Service = CSS + CAS + CRF
• Temporary Storage Service = CSS + CAS + CBO + CRS
The CAS fee is zero, as it is included in the CSS subscription fee.
It is confirmed how to request and allocate the Flexibility Service for the day ahead and Infraday, according to the operating rules currently in place.
Fee for Subscription Services (“CSS”)
|
The CSS fee includes an initial amount based on the number of slots contracted by the User and a final adjustment based on the actual used slots.
CSS_iniziale u,i =(q_fissa * slot_iniu,i /slot_toti+k*slot_liberii * slot_iniu,i /slot_toti ) * Coef u,i Where: • K = 60.000 €; i. 1 in case of yearly subscription
CSS_finaleu,i=∑ i (q_fissa* slot_iniu,i / slot_toti +k* slot_liberi_finalii * slot_finu,i ⁄ slot_toti )* Coef u,i)
Where: • q_fissa = • slot_ini u,i = number of slots subscribed by the User u-esimo related to the flexibility subscription period i-esima (yearly, half-yearly,monthly) requested by the User u-esimo; CSS_conguaglio_u= CSS_finale_u -∑ i CSS_iniziale_ui
If CSS_conguaglio u< 0, Adriatic LNG will issue a credit note to the User u-esimo, for an amount equal to the value of the calculated credit. |
Fee for the Activation of the “CAS” services
|
The CAS fee is zero, as it is included in the CSS subscription fee. |
Fee for the Redelivery of Flexibility “CRF”
|
The variable fee payable by the User will be calculated on the absolute value of the Redelivery Program Variation of the activated flexible volumes (day ahead and intraday). The rate to be applied will depend on the usage threshold as shown below: Less than or equal to 33,000 MWh the tariff is 0.10 €/MWh; The fare must be considered for thresholds. For example, if you use 55,000 MWh of flexibility, you will have to pay the following amount: |
Boil-Off Fee “CBO”
|
It is confirmed the calculation of the Boil-Off Fee based on the following formula: CBO = Cqs x 0,05% x (Temporary Storage volumes) x (n Temporary Storage Days)
The parameters «quota fissa», «k» and the components CRF/CRS can be reviewed yearly. Waiver: Terminale GNL Adriatico S.r.l.
