1. DEFINITION
Shippers subscribe Capacity on the Main Network and on the Regional Network, in order to carry natural gas. Such
Contractual Capacity materialises in the form of “effective” Operational Capacity, which reflects the maximum
actual usage levels of the Contractual Capacity held by the Shippers.
This Operational Capacity is then used to carry gas via a procedure of transmission requests, which are partly
turned into Nominations.
A transmission request entails:
• a contract,
• a gas day,
• a PCR [Network Contractual Point],
• a flow direction,
• a counterparty.
2. UPLOAD SCREEN
It is to be found in the upper part of the “Sélection du périmètre du lot” [Batch Perimeter Selection] screen,
accessible from the Operations/Nomination/Creation menu of the TRANS@ction portal.
