Charging methodology Variable Costs

For BBL shippers any use of BBL pipeline capacity results in a share of the cost of the electricity used to power the electrically driven compressors at Anna Paulowna. In addition, a small amount of fuel gas is consumed in the gas heaters in Bacton whilst the BBL pipeline is in ‘forward flow’ mode. In ‘reverse flow’ mode gas purchases are also needed due to gas shrinkage effects. Shippers are required to contribute their share to these costs.

Each GTC shipper who purchases BBL capacity shall pay a commodity charge based on its actual use of its BBL capacity.

The commodity charge will be calculated on a daily basis.
