“We are convinced
that the GAZ-SYSTEM Auctions Platform is a solution which – not less than a
physical extension of transmission corridors – contributes to the emergence of
new, interesting business synergies, as well as improving the security and
flexibility of natural gas transmission in Europe.”
- Jan Chadam, President of the Management Board of GAZ-SYSTEM S.A.
History:
The GAZ-SYSTEM
Auctions Platform was established by the Polish transmission system
operator GAZ-SYSTEM S.A., for the purposes of offering capacity in accordance
with the NC CAM in 2014.
In supporting the development of a
single gas market in Europe, GAZ-SYSTEM S.A. is harmonizing the rules and
regulations in its network codes to enable the emergence of a liberal gas
market in Poland with a diversified structure of suppliers.
The Company combines the operation of
two natural gas transmission systems on a day-to-day basis, which it why it is
a pioneer in the implementation of the solutions of the European network codes
in Central and Eastern Europe and it has a good understanding of the need to
support Shippers in building their portfolios of natural gas supplies.
After the experience
which the Company has gained while operating pilot auctions of a related
product in cooperation with the German operators twice, GAZ-SYSTEM S.A. has
taken steps to encourage network users to use the modern tools available on the
gas market, safely transferring the principles of the European network codes to
the day-to-day work of operators and Shippers.
