Additional Reverse Flow Booking Incentive Capacity and withdrawal of other Booking Incentives

15 April 2026

BBL Company (BBLC) is happy to announce the release of additional capacity under its Seasonal Reverse Flow Booking Incentive. At the same time, BBLC will withdraw two existing booking incentive products related to Forward Flow capacity products. With these changes, BBLC continues to align its product portfolio with evolving market demand.

Release of Additional Seasonal Reverse Flow Booking Incentive Capacity

On 30 April 2026 at 09:00 CEST, additional Seasonal Reverse Flow Booking Incentive capacity will become available. This means that an additional total of 1 GWh/h will be offered for each summer season from 2027 through to 2031.

Under this Booking Incentive, shippers have the option to conclude multi-year bookings of Firm Reverse Flow capacity for the second quarter (Q2) and third quarter (Q3) simultaneously at a discounted tariff. These bookings can be concluded for durations ranging from two up to five years, starting from Q2 2027.

Detailed information on applicable tariffs, conditions and product specifications is available on the BBLC website.

Shippers interested in participating are advised to verify their creditworthiness in advance, in order to prevent any limitations to capacity allocation due to insufficient creditworthiness.

Release of Non Incentive Reverse Flow Capacity for Summer 2027

On 30 April 2026 at 09:00 CEST, BBLC will release new Reverse Flow capacity for Q2 and Q3 2027. This capacity will be made available against regular tariffs and is not part of a booking incentive scheme. Starting on 30 April 2026, the tariff of Q3 capacity Reverse Flow is increased to 1.35 EUR/MWh.

Withdrawal of two Booking Incentives

Due to sustained limited market interest, BBLC has decided to withdraw the multi-year multi-directional and the seasonal forward flow booking incentives from the market. These changes will take effect on 30 April 2026  and support closer alignment with prevailing market conditions, where demand is increasingly focused on reverse flow (GB to NL) capacity products.

This adjustment supports closer alignment with prevailing market dynamics, where demand is increasingly focused on UK to Netherlands capacity.
