Reshuffling Service
The Reshuffling Service in accordance with §6a (1–5) GMMO-VO 2020 – Amendment 2025 enables system users to offset the monetary value of newly acquired firm yearly, quarterly, or monthly capacity products against existing yearly or multi-yearly capacity contracts.
How it works
Existing Yearly Capacity Contract:
The system user holds freely allocable capacity (FZK) or dynamically allocable capacity (DZK) with a term of one year or more at an Entry and/or Exit Interconnection Point (IP) of Gas Connect Austria.
The Reshuffling Service cannot be used for capacities that have already been subject to a capacity conversion, and vice versa.
New Capacity Contract:
The system user books freely allocable capacity (FZK) on a monthly, quarterly, or yearly basis in capacity auctions at an Entry and/or Exit IP of Gas Connect Austria.
Reshuffling Request:
The system user submits a reshuffling request using the standard form within five (5) working days after booking the new capacity.
Gas Connect Austria (GCA) validates the reshuffling service within three (3) working days.
In case of yearly capacity products, reshuffling is only possible for the first gas year.
Capacity Reshuffling:
The monetary value of the new booking* indicated by the shipper and confirmed by GCA is offset against the system user’s existing yearly capacity contract. The maximum amount that can be reshuffled is limited to the monetary value of the existing yearly capacity contract. The corresponding capacity from the existing yearly capacity contract is then returned to Gas Connect Austria.
* Auction premiums applied during the booking of quarterly or monthly capacity (FZK), as well as a positive tariff difference due to the higher value of quarterly or monthly capacity (multipliers), remain payable by the network users utilising the reshuffling service and are not considered in the monetary offset. In case of reshuffling on a yearly basis changes in the tariff ordinance are reflected in the monetary value. For further details please have a look at our Reshuffling Example.
The Reshuffling Service will be available for booked transport capacities starting October 1, 2025 for yearly, quarterly nad monthly capacities.
