19 October 2026
On gas day 24 October 2026 there will be a switch from summer time to winter time. This means that this gas day will have 25 hours.
To avoid any problems which may occur, please be aware of the following:
- BBL Company expects nominations according to the EDIGAS protocol. This means that a nomination for this gas day (24 October) consists of 25 hours in which, translated to UTC, the nomination for that day begins at 04:00 UTC (6:00 LET) and ends at 05:00 UTC (also 6:00 LET). When using ENOM with appropriate settings, this feature is facilitated when nominating for this gas day. When not using ENOM, please make sure that EDIGAS messages will have this timeframe.
- Whenever possible, avoid sending in nominations in the period between 01:00 LET and 04:00 LET. Due to possible technical limitations, incoming nominations may be handled different from the normal process and therefore may introduce extra risks.
