European gas transmission operators making mixed progress on transparency

28 November 2008

There has been mixed progress in improving the transparency of gas market information available across northwest Europe, according to the latest progress report from the European Regulators Group for Electricity and Gas.
Data on daily flows and interruptions, and on daily aggregate day-ahead nominations, have been highlighted as areas where the commitment to greater transparency is significantly behind schedule. Belgian transmission system operator Fluxys has been named as the worst offender at present.
Better availability of data on network capacity and the likelihood of interruptions has been identified as a key factor in improving the competitiveness of the gas market and removing barriers to new entrants.
Six transmission companies (RWE Trans­portnetz, Gaslink, DEP, Gasunie Deutschland, Energinet and Wingas Transport) have made significant progress on improving the availability of information about capacity and gas flows on the network.
Seven of the transmission operators have not been able to publish information on daily flows and interruptions nor on daily aggregate day-ahead nominations, although six of them said that stage would be reached next year. Fluxys and Swedegas had fallen behind in publishing information, said the report.
