   In as far as the system user registers its additional Daily Peak Plus Injection capacity request after the deadline of 04:00 for the following gas day or within the gas day after 06:00 on MFGT’s IT Platform (SMCS “Daily Capacity” interface), MFGT will perform the request in line with the rules of re-nomination, at least after two full gas hours from accepting the request.

   Out of the System User’s Daily Peak Plus capacity requested within the ongoing gas day, only the hourly capacity of the remaining hours will be made available by MFGT, that is the Daily Peak Plus capacity of the gas day’s already elapsed gas hours cannot be carried over to the remaining gas hours.

   (To help understand the settlement mechanism of the fee payable in relation to the Daily Peak Plus capacity used within the gas day, we attached an illustrative example to this announcement notice (Annex No. 2).
