As a result of Swiss TSOs receiving higher nominations towards Switzerland rather than towards Italy at the Interconnection Point Passo Gries, in the period between 8 and 12 October 2020 a changeover from physical forward to physical reverse flow was observed at Passo Gries.
Guest commentary of FluxSwiss in the Neue Zürcher Zeitung: instead of investing time and money in a complicated regulation of a bygone era for the Transitgas-pipeline, Switzerland should rather leverage on the European Green Deal momentum.
In the first weekend of October, short-term capacity sales performed by FluxSwiss led to remarkable nominations by shippers in both North-to-South and South-to-North directions.
Such nominations triggered within-day flow changeover from Forward to Reverse Flow and vice versa on the Transitgas pipeline.
The Swiss network was not only designed to transmit natural gas and bridge northern and southern European energy markets, but also to meet future energy demand like hydrogen and biogas transport.
No capacity has been awarded through the Tender for Summer Capacity Reservation Fee, as the received bids did not reach the minimum score.
Over the last weekend, short-term capacity sales performed by FluxSwiss led to significant nominations by our shippers on the path from Italy to France. These nominations triggered physical reverse flow at IP Oltingue for the first time ever.
On May 31st, FluxSwiss will launch a tender for a new innovative product: a group of six monthly products from October 2021 to March 2022, structured as capacity reservation with a later confirmation of the service.
Following up on the agreement reached in 2022, FluxSwiss, Swissgas and Transitgas in their capacity as Swiss Transmission System Operators have agreed to extend to Gas Year 2023 the so-called “Emergency Procedure” aimed at mitigating the impact of a possible gas emergency affecting the Swiss domestic market by means of specific inter-TSO measures.
We intend to launch in the second half of April a subscription window for unloading slots and additional storage services at the Zeebrugge LNG terminal. The subscription window is a highly attractive opportunity for you to secure LNG Terminalling capacity with an experienced capacity provider at a key strategic location providing optimum destination flexibility.
We are pleased to announce Raoul Raffagli as new Deputy CEO of FluxSwiss. Commercial Manager at FluxSwiss since 2015, Raoul succeeds Nicolas Grégoire who recently passed away unexpectedly.
In mei 2019 meerden maar liefst 13 schepen aan op de LNG-terminal in Zeebrugge: een nieuw maandrecord sinds de ingebruikneming van de installatie in 1987. Het laden van LNG-tankwagens bereikte eveneens een recordniveau.
On Wednesday, March 16 we received the sad news that our dear colleague Nicolas Grégoire had passed away unexpectedly. Nicolas was 50 years old and a highly valued colleague and friend to many of us. He was always ready to lend a sympathetic ear or offer a helping hand, and he always had a positive and constructive attitude. That is how we will always remember him.
In the course of 2022, FluxSwiss, Swissgas and Transitgas in their capacity as Swiss Transmission System Operators finalised a so-called “Emergency Procedure” to activate specific inter-TSO measures aimed at mitigating the impact of a possible gas emergency on the Swiss domestic gas market as a consequence of a supply disruption from upstream markets or a technical accident affecting the Transitgas pipeline or one of the neighbouring gas systems.
LNG Truck Loading at the Zeebrugge Terminal is on its way to new records.
Since January 2019 trucks loading LNG at Zeebrugge numbered 1862, a new annual high, and the year hasn't elapsed yet.
During first quarter, a record 72 ship operation took place at the Zeebrugge terminal. Both February and March broke the record number of ships per month.
On January 13th 2021, Fluxys LNG starts a market consultation on the access code for truck loading.
2019 was very intense at the Zeebrugge LNG Terminal. Thanks to a lot of operations, the results were much higher than the previous year.
Historically, the Zeebrugge LNG terminal has facilitated the physical deliveries between suppliers and off-takers. Given the ever growing LNG market and the increasing amount of new downstream players, Fluxys wants to stimulate this market even further by creating a highly liquid small scale LNG hub through efficient terminal access possibilities powered by a digital trading place provided by Enmacc.
On July 13th 2020, Fluxys LNG has started a market consultation on the access code for truck loading.
