Each participant of the PP Procedure may submit 1 PP Application at a given physical entry or exit point, in which it specifies the order for annual, quarterly and monthly periods.
The date of submission of the application for the conclusion of a transmission contract, capacity allocation (PP) or amendment to these documents are deemed to be the date of submission of formally and legally correct documents to GAZ-SYSTEM Applications submitted in the PP Procedure are subject to formal, legal and technical assessment.
By 15 August, the participants of the procedure are informed about the need to allocate capacity between the existing and new system users by agreeing PP (if the sum of ordered capacities at the connection to domestic gas fields, natural gas mixing facilities and nitrogen removal plants as well as at the connection to customers's installations and distribution network of a distribution system operator with whom no inter-operator transmission contract has been concluded, exceeds the available capacity).
By 20 September, the participants of the procedure are provided with information on capacity allocation.
The capacity available under the overnomination procedure is offered on the basis of the transmission contract, the capacity allocation and allocation of transmission ability (PP/PZ) as well as a nomination approved by GAZ-SYSTEM.
