On the secondary capacity market, the rights to use capacities are traded. The sale of capacities on the secondary market consists in the transfer of the right to use certain capacities for a certain time period at a certain entry or exit point, whereas the obligations in respect to the Transmission System Operator shall still remain with the System User which transfers its capacity. The secondary capacity market covers the trading in all the types of capacities offered on the primary market of or parts thereof (except for the daily capacities of the current day).
System users seeking to sell on the secondary market the right to use certain capacities for a certain period of time must have obtained the capacities in question on the primary market covering the period of time in question.
The price as well as other terms and conditions related to the capacity transfer on a secondary market shall be determined by a mutual agreement of the system users involved in the sales transaction in question.
The Transmission System Operator is a secondary capacity market intermediary. Requests and and offers to buy or sell capacities on the secondary capacity market shall be either submitted by system users to the Transmission System Operator online via the electronic gas transmission services ordering and administration system (hereinafter referred to as the " ETSOAS") or in writing (Application Request for Making a Transaction on the Secondary Market). Information about all the requests / offers to purchase/sell capacities on the secondary market received from the system users shall be published by the Transmission System Operators on the ETSOAS and on its website.
Upon the conclusion of a capacity transfer transaction, both the system users involved in the transaction shall inform the Transmission System Operator about this fact either in writing or via the ETSOAS (Notification of a Transaction Made on the Secondary Market).
