Allocation Participant Register

Under the Gas (Downstream Reconciliation) Rules 2008, allocation participants are retailers, distributor, meter owners or transmission system owners under the Rules. Gas Industry Co has established an Allocation Participant Register for recording the contact details of all allocation participants. The Allocation Participant Register can be viewed at the link below:

Allocation Participant Register

Although the Register has no formal status under the Rules, it is used by both Gas Industry Co and the allocation agent for the issuing of formal notifications, providing material for allocation participant consultation and notifying determinations made under the Rules. It is important that the allocation participant register is complete and up to date, and all interested parties are expected to maintain the register and provide a new or replacement notification if appropriate. Any company that considers itself to be an allocation participant is invited to notify Gas Industry Co accordingly using the notification form, which can be downloaded from the following page:

Gas Gates

The following document provides a list of all gas gates. The list was last updated on 1 March 2012 and corresponds to the gas gate list used by the allocation agent and the list available for download from the gas registry. Any changes to the gas gate list should be made via the Gas Gate Change Notice form which is available here.

Annual UFG Factors

Rule 46 requires that for each gas year the allocation agent determine and publish the annual UFG (AUFG) factor for each gas gate, based on the ratio of aggregated injection and consumption information from the 12 months up to and including February of the previous gas year. For the transitional period ending on 30 September 2010, special provisions apply as detailed in rule 79, including a cap and floor on the maximum and minimum values for the AUFG (1.035 and 0.985 respectively). AUFG factors for each gas gate and each gas year where the Rules have been in operation can be accessed by clicking on the links below.
