National Grid are invoking code contingency processes for the auction above based on the continuing Gemini system issues.

National Grid NTS will accept bids  for a WDDSEC Entry Capacity auction to be conducted at or around 13:00 hrs on Gas Flow Day 25/10/2007. Could all Users wishing to participate in this auction submit the relevant contingency proforma (CO38) to one of the fax numbers detailed below, between 10:00 and 12:00.

Fax 1: 01926 656615

Fax 2: 01926 656612

Please Note

* Ignore the proforma fax number and use the ones above

* Ignore the number of bids on the proforma, we will only input the first 3 bids received per ASEP

* Evergreen bids only will be input

To facilitate this auction National Grid NTS will only accept up to 3 "evergreen" bids per user per ASEP and will enter the bids on the User's behalf. This will be a sealed pay as bid auction (i.e. no price information provided during the auction) and National Grid NTS will not be able to publish post auction information at this stage.

Based on the information supplied on the contingency pro-forma National Grid NTS will contact the User to inform them of their allocations post 13:00.

Due to the difficulty of contacting users post DISEC yesterday (incorrect contact details etc) National Grid will only make one attempt to contact users regarding their allocations, either via Phone or E-Mail.

Those users who wish to receive allocations via e-mail will need to send an e-mail from their relevant account stating their shipper short code to capacityauctions@uk.ngrid.com prior to 13:00, we will use this for all future auctions. Telephone contact details should be put on the form.

If you have any queries then please telephone 01926 655342 or send an e-mail to capacityauctions@uk.ngrid.com.
