Revenue model

1. Natural Gas Transmission Capacity Charges: Capacity-based charges for grid access to the transmission network. For 2027, the capacity charge for firm flexible allocable entry and exit capacities with annual duration is 7.31 [€/(kWh/h)/a] at cross-border points and storages. The charge for dynamically-allocable capacities is 90% and for conditionally firm freely allocable capacities is 90% of the firm flexible rate. Discounts of 40% apply for LNG entry points and 75% for gas storage facilities.
2. Hydrogen Transport Capacity Reservation: Reservation fees for hydrogen transport capacities in the core network. The specific reservation fee for Gasunie Deutschland amounts to 5% of the ramp-up tariff of a non-interruptible annual capacity product valid at that time, in accordance with Bundesnetzagentur regulations WANDA and KOSMO.
