The description of the electronic system is contained in Annex No. 1.

   For the following gas days, the requested Daily Peak Plus capacity can be increased even several times but not decreased by the System User.

    

    

    

   Daily Peak Plus Service within the ongoing gas day:

   In as far as the system user registers its additional Daily Peak Plus withdrawal 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.

   MFGT’s IT Platform (SMCS) will display a related warning message following the Daily Peak Plus capacity booking.

   The basis of settling the Daily Peak Plus service within the ongoing gas day shall in any case be the total Daily Peak Plus capacity requested, regardless of the hourly Daily Peak Plus capacity not used in the elapsed hours, that is twenty-four times the highest requested Daily Peak Plus hourly capacity.

   (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).

   Only the contact person(s) specified in the contract shall be entitled to register in connection with the Daily Peak Plus withdrawal capacity product.

   MFGT explicitly reserves the right to declare the capacity booking procedure unsuccessful within its own scope of competence.
