Our Services

GTS has contractually modelled the national grid in an entry-exit system, in which the gas enters the grid at entry points and leaves the grid at exit points. Shippers can book capacity at entry points and at exit points independently on a first come first served basis. Tariffs have been set for all individual entry and exit points. Entry capacity gives the right to inject a specific volume of gas per hour into the national grid at an entry point; exit capacity gives the right to withdraw a specific volume of gas per hour from the national grid at an exit point. A directly connected end user can book exit capacity at its connection linked to the GTS network

GTS accepts gas that is offered at entry points, transports it and makes it available at exit points. A shipper can freely combine entry and exit points and does not have to book the entry and exit capacity at the same time. The combined entry and exit contracts of one and the same shipper are called a portfolio. A shipper can have several of these portfolios. A shipper is obliged to balance per portfolio the volume of gas that it injects into the system and the volume of gas that it withdraws from it in accordance with the Dutch balancing regime.

There is a handling period of a maximum of 10 working days between submitting the request for entry and/or exit capacity and the actual transport. This is the maximum period needed by GTS to complete the request in time. In practice the turnaround time for bookings is generally much shorter.
