6. QUANTITIES, NOMINATIONS AND BALANCING

6.1 When signing the Contract the Parties shall agree upon an Annual Natural Gas

Transmission Programme – Annex no.3D, which should include the quantities for

transmission for the Contract duration including by quarters and months, and

maximum daily quantity by months for the period within the daily capacity allocated

to the Customer in total for all capacity products at the acceptance points and the

hand-over points as an integral part hereof.

6.2 The total natural gas quantity for transmission hereunder shall be to the amount

of...................... (....................................................................................) cubic

meters.

6.3 The Customer shall notify the Transmission operator every Friday (or respectively the

last working day of the week) no later than 12.00 pm of the daily nominations for

natural gas hand-over and acceptance for each day of the forthcoming week,

respectively at hand-over points and at acceptance points (Annex no.4A and Annex

4B). By 2.00 pm the Transmission operator has the right to reject a nomination

(Annex no.4C) if there are no technical conditions for its implementation and/or the

nomination exceeds the allocated daily capacity.

6.4. The Customer can amend the daily nomination for each day no later than 1.00 pm on

the previous day, notifying the Transmission operator thereof by submitting a re-

nomination (Annex no.5А and Annex no.5B). By 2.00 pm on the previous day the

Transmission operator has the right to reject the re-nomination (Annex No. 5C) if

there are no technical conditions for its implementation and/or the nomination

exceeds the allocated daily capacity.

6.4.1 If the Customer exceeds their contracted capacity by nominating natural gas

quantities for transmission at a given acceptance point beyond the capacity allocated

to them at this point, the Operator shall reduce the nomination to the contracted

capacity. The Operator may ensure the transmission of such additional quantities only

in case technical or technological possibilities to its implementation exist. In case of

allocation of the transported quantities under item 7.10, the allocation shall be made

pro rata the contracted capacity (the reduced nomination).

6.5 In the event that on any day of the Contract term the Customer fails to make their

nomination under art. 6.3 and art. 6.4 for the natural gas quantity he intends to

inject and withdraw from the gas transmission network for the respective day of the

period, the quantity nominated for the respective day of the period according to

Annexes nos. 3A, 3B, 3C and 3E shall be considered the quantity nominated for

transmission.


10

6.6 In case of a cut off or decrease in gas supply at hand-over points the Customer shall

immediately notify the Transmission Operator of the reasons and the expected

duration.

6.7 The Customer shall be liable to maintain daily balance between the natural gas

quantities handed over for transmission at entry points and the natural gas quantities

withdrawn of the network at exit points with daily balancing period and monthly

settlement period. In case of detecting daily imbalance on day D for D-1, the Customer

shall prepare and submit a re-nomination for day D+1 under Annex no.6A to

compensate the imbalance by 1.00 pm on day D and the Operator shall confirm or

correct under Annex no.6B by 2.00 pm on day D. The last nomination shall have

priority against the corrected daily nomination under Annex no.5A. The sum of the

quantities nominated for transmission under Annexes no.5A and 6A shall not exceed

the contracted daily capacity.

6.8 In order to support the Customer in taking timely corrective actions to compensate

differences between the injected and withdrawn natural gas from each of the

networks, the Transmission Operator shall provide access to operating information on

the quantities of natural gas, handed over and accepted by the Customer respectively

at the hand-over points and at the acceptance points, by metering lines.

In cases where the Customer has the status of a balancing user at a certain entry

point and actions are needed to be undertaken to fill in or reduce the linepack in the

respective gas transmission network, the Operator shall send to the Customer a

Notification on linepack recovery/reduction (Annex no.6B) by 1:00 pm on day D for

day D+1 and the Customer shall provide and confirm the request for correction of

natural gas quantities at entry point (Annex no.6D) until 2.00 pm on day D for day

D+1. The resulting quantity stated for D+1 in excess of the received by the Customer

at exit points shall be determined as received quantity for transmission in day D+2.

6.9 In case that the Customer fails to remove the imbalance within day D+1 for day D-1,

the Transmission Operator is enabled to undertake actions to restore the balance in

the relevant network and is not liable to advise the Customer thereof. In case of

negative non-restored imbalance, the Customer shall pay the Operator the amount of

gas that is in imbalance at the prices the Operator has purchased gas for the needs

of the system during this period in line with the requirements of article 186,

paragraph 2 of Energy Act. Reporting and payment is performed under Section 7 and

Section 9 hereof.

6.10 In case that the daily or the cumulative imbalance exceed certain limit set by the

Operator (positive or negative), thus resulting in the impossibility to physically

balance the relevant transmission network and/or threatens its integrity and safe

operation, the Transmission operator shall take measures according to the provisions

of Section VI of Rules for management and technical rules of the gas transmission

networks, adopted by SEWRC Decision /promulgated SG 77/3.09.2013/.

protocol from the Upstream operator, the allocation shall be made on the basis of an

Allocation Protocol drawn-up and signed by all users at the point.

7.7 In case of more than one Customer (user, trader, public supplier) at the hand-over

point GMS Galata/GMS Dolni Dabnik the Monthly protocol under Annex no.7 will be

based on the protocols signed between the supplier (the production company) and

each Customer at the hand-over point.


at the acceptance point, the allocation shall be made on the basis of an Allocation

Protocol drawn-up and signed by all users at the point. In cases where there is only

a valid Transport contract for natural gas.

13.3. All risks, damages and claims of the persons concerned that may arise while

implementing the provisions of Art. 13.2 shall be borne by the Customer who has

requested suspension of natural gas transmission at the respective gas acceptance
