Booking

The fees for Day-Ahead capacities are independent from storage and consistent for all storages. We send an daily e-mail (working day) with the available capacities and fee. However, the fee can be adjusted at short notice depending on the market situation and the allocation of the capacities takes place according to the principle „first-come-first-served“.

The available capacity amounts are published on the day D-1 at 11:00 a.m. on the website of VGS and on easystore; the corresponding capacity quota then can be booked from 11:00 a.m. until 03:00 a.m. (flange products) or 05:00 p.m. (hub products) for the same day. If the following gas day is on a weekend or a holiday, these days can be booked within one booking directly in advance until the first following working day.

Add on - Early Injection and Late Withdrawal

Would you like to fill a concluded contract, which only starts in the future, rather to use low market prices? Or would you like to extend the withdrawal phase of your contract?

Our Add ons "Early Injection" and "Late Withdrawal" make this possible.

Add on Early Injection
Additional booking of WGV and IR to extend the service period before the start of the basic contract.

Add on Late Withdrawal
Additional booking of WGV and WR to extend the service period after the end of the basic contract.

The capacities do not have to correspond to the capacity ratio of the basic contract, but are limited to the maximum booked capacities of the basic contract. The characteristic curves correspond to the logic of the basic contract.

The fees for add ons to the contract extension are the same for all storages and VGS defines an internal minimum fee in (€/MWh)/d.
As a booking request you can send us an informal inquiry (by telephone or e-mail) with a fee in € for the entire period of the extension. The booking request can be divided as follows:

a) Working gas level at a certain time

For this please specify in your inquiry the service period of the add on and the desired WGV, which should be filled, and the bid in €. Then we determine the necessary injection or withdrawal rate for you.

b) injection or withdrawal rate over a specific time

Give us your desired IR or WR for the extension of the contract, the service period and the bid in € in your inquiry. We calculate the necessary WGV for you.
