GAZ-SYSTEM and Net4Gas inform that the status of capacity offered at the cross-border point in Cieszyn has changed from interruptible to firm.
Following an assessment of the technical and commercial terms and conditions, firm day ahead capacity started to be offered at the Cieszyn cross-border point (point ID 370001, entry to the transmission system of GAZ-SYSTEM). The capacity was previously offered on an interruptible basis.
The conversion of the interruptible capacity into firm one became possible owing to the capability on the part of the Czech operator to periodically maintain higher pressure levels.
This arrangement offers a higher certainty for customers using this point that their deliveries from the Czech direction will be executed. The availability of this type of capacity will lead to optimised utilization of the technical capabilities of this interconnection.
