The purpose of this order is the determination of different aspects concerning third-party access to gas installations, the application of tolls and charges in force, the remuneration of regulated activities of the Gas activities and the updating of the amount of the minimum stocks of natural gas security of a strategic nature.

In accordance with the provisions of the final provision of Royal Decree 326/2008 of 29 February establishing the remuneration for the activity of natural gas transport for installations with a service to On 1 January 2008, the application of unit values for positions, maintenance centres for transport facilities and the procedure to be applied in the assessment of the extension of the transport infrastructure affected by regulated activities, in order to resolve doubts resulting from the different casuistics that can be presented.

The Spanish system of third-party access to the gas installations recognizes the owner of the facilities where the gas of the users circulates, the power to retain a pre-established percentage of the gas circulated in concept of mermas. This percentage is the result of averages calculated from historical values. It is necessary to establish an economic incentive in order to maintain the current low levels of merit and to ensure efficient use of the facilities, thereby reducing the energy consumption associated with the management of the gas system. In this sense, mechanisms of incentive to apply to distribution networks and regasification plants already exist. In this order there is an incentive to reduce the number of goods in the transport network by applying a formula similar to that which is currently applied in regasification plants. This will have no cost to the system as the excess gas over the authorized maximum mermas will be used to cover the gas needs of the facilities.

Likewise, and in accordance with the mandate included in the second provision of Royal Decree 326/2008, of 29 February, the National Energy Commission has made a "Proposal for a review of unit values". of references for investment and operating costs and maintenance costs for regasification facilities. " According to the information included in this proposal, the new values in force are published in this order.

Similarly, and in line with the mandate included in the seventh additional provision of Order ITC/3802/2008 of 26 December establishing the tolls and charges associated with third party access to the Gas installations, the tariff of last resort, and certain aspects relating to the regulated activities of the gas sector and the corresponding proposal of the National Energy Commission, the model of remuneration of the costs of operation and maintenance of natural gas underground storage. In general terms, the fixed and variable terms of the previous model are replaced by another one based on direct and indirect costs, which responds better to the way in which these costs are generated and evolve in reality and, in their application, establishes the remuneration for the storage of the Serrablo and Gaviota for the financial years 2007 and 2008 as well as the provisional payment for 2009, 2010 and 2011.

Order ITC/3520/2009 of 28 December establishing the tolls and charges associated with third party access to gas installations for the year 2010 and updating certain aspects relating to the remuneration of third parties the regulated activities of the gas sector, included for the first time in its Annex V new unit values for investment and maintenance of the transport facilities, which separated the cost of the linear work of the positions. Some aspects of these coefficients and their application for the extension of installations are clarified in this order. It also specifies the application of the unit values of the maintenance centers, determining the essential parameters for the calculation of their remuneration as is their useful life.

The user stock balance is the result of various delivery procedures that are regulated in the Technical Management Standard of the NGTS-06 System and in the PD-02 detail protocols. distribution in connection points of transport-distribution "and PD-11" Delivery procedure at points of entry to the transport network ". The availability of precise and immediate information on the level of stock of the agents in the system is essential for the effective construction of an organized gas market. In this order, a daily balancing system is established for the day following the 'gas day' on the basis of the data provided by the distributors. An incentive procedure is also available to avoid non-compliance with the deadlines for the transmission of the information.

On the other hand, the security of supply of the gas system is strengthened by increasing the obligations of maintaining minimum safety stocks of a strategic nature of natural gas. From the transitional provision of Law 12/2007 of 2 July 2007 amending Law No 34/1998 of 7 October of the Hydrocarbons Sector in order to adapt it to the provisions of Directive 2003 /55/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council the Council of 26 June 2003 on common rules for the internal market in natural gas, it follows that from 1 January 2012, minimum security stocks may not include operational reserves. Royal Decree 1716/2004 of 23 July, regulating the obligation to maintain minimum stocks of security, diversification of natural gas supply and the corporation of strategic reserves of petroleum products, establishes the level of strategic natural gas stocks to be maintained by the obligated subjects, in 10 days of their firm sales in the previous calendar year. Taking into account the volatility of the energy markets, the foreseeable development of our underground storage capacity with the entry into operation of important short-term infrastructures as well as the disappearance of the Mandatory operational stocks, the obligation to maintain stocks of natural gas of a strategic nature up to 20 days.

In line with the above, the Order ITC/3862/2007 of 28 December 2007 establishing the mechanism for allocating the capacity of natural gas underground storage and creating a market for natural gas is amended. capacity, to ensure the consistency of the available capacity sharing mechanism with the new level of strategic stocks of natural gas.

Also, the pending remuneration of certain facilities associated with the underground storage of Serrablo in the period from the effective start up of the same to the date of the start of depreciation as set out in Annex III to Order ITC/3802/2008 of 26 December.

This order has been the subject of the National Energy Commission's Report 31/2011, approved by its Board of Directors dated October 7, 2011, for which the submissions made have been taken into account. in the processing of the hearing carried out through the Hydrocarbons Advisory Council.

By Agreement of 7 November 2011, the Government Delegation for Economic Affairs has authorised the Minister of Industry, Tourism and Trade to issue this order.

Under the agreement of the Government's Delegation for Economic Affairs, I have:

Article 1. Object.

the purpose of this order is the determination of various aspects relating to the access of third parties to gas installations, the application of the tolls and charges in force, the remuneration of the regulated activities of the Gas activities and the updating of the amount of the minimum stocks of natural gas security of a strategic nature.

Article 2. Positions of a pipeline.

1. It is defined as the position of a transport pipeline to the set of elements enabling the drying and/or derivation of the gas circulating by it, and is considered to be made up of the necessary terrain, including that which may correspond to the Regulation and measurement stations (ERMs), along with their access, valves (line and connections), pipes, by-passes, vents, in their case scrapers traps, and those elements and systems, liabilities and/or assets, of protection, security, communication, control, power supply, odorization, gas quality determination, as well as any other equipment necessary for the proper operation of the installation and connection with its own or third-party facilities throughout the active life of the asset.

They differ, due to their functionality and degree of equipment, three types of positions: sectioning (Type S positions), derivation (Type D positions) and scraper trap (Type T positions).

When a position has pitch traps and scraper reception, two scraper trap positions will be considered.

A position is performed with concurrency when it is included in the initial project or when it is requested to be included by the distributor or carrier at least one year before the start date of the line.

2. In the case of new positions, and for the purposes of the use of the unit values in force for the application of Article 4 of Royal Decree 326/2008 of 29 February establishing the remuneration of the activity of transport of natural gas for installations with commissioning from 1 January 2008, the investment value of that position by application of unit values (VIi) shall be the result of applying the following formula:

VIi = Unitarian Value Position Type S × CC_Position × CC_Tsecondary × CC_Later

Where:

Unit Value Type Position S = Applicable Unit Value of the concurrent Type S Position in the equivalent primary transport pipeline.

CC_Position = The Applicable Position Type Corrector, if this is a Type S Position the value will be 1.

CC_TSecondary = Corrective coefficient for applicable Secondary Transport Element, if this is a Primary Transport Position the value will be 1.

DC_Back = The Corrector coefficient for Post Positions Applicable Linear, if this is a Position performed with concurrency the value will be 1.

The derivation positions include the sectioning element and the scraper trap positions a derivation and a sectioning, therefore, at the time of value the coefficient will be applied only to the coefficient corresponding.

Cases of complex positions, such as those that include two or more scrapers or scraper traps, will be treated for the purpose of calculating the remuneration as a position extension.

3. The useful life of the investment in position for the purposes of the calculation of the remuneration shall be the same as the gas pipelines.

4. For the calculation of the remuneration of a position, and in compliance with the obligations contained in Article 5 of Royal Decree 326/2008 of 29 February, the information referred to in the pipeline shall be broken down into linear work and positions. In addition, for the purposes of complying with the obligation to submit a technical audit in compliance with Article 4.1 of Royal Decree 326/2008 of 29 February, in the case of pipelines, the joint cost of the linear work plus positions.

Article 3. Extensions of transport facilities.

1. Modifications and/or extensions of existing transport facilities shall only be included in the remuneration scheme where they entail an increase in capacity and are affected by the activity itself. From the point of view of the remuneration system, the extensions of the transport facilities shall be deemed to be independent of the original installation, including in an individual manner.

2. For the purposes of calculating the value of investment VIi referred to in Article 4 of Royal Decree 326/2008 of 29 February, the following criteria shall apply:

(a) Extension of regulation and/or measurement stations by additional lines: as an investment value of the extension by application of unit values the value resulting from multiplying the corrective factor " Lines Additional ERM/MS " for the unit value in force for a new ERM/EM at the time of the extension in service.

b) Expansion of regulation and/or measurement stations by replacement of equipment that increase the size of the station (G type): as an investment value of the expansion by application of unit values will be taken the difference between the unit values of the ERM before and after the extension, applying the values in force at the time of the entry into service of the extension.

(c) Position extension: as an investment value of the extension by application of the unit values, the difference between the investment values resulting from the application of the unit values in force at the time of the the putting into service of the extension considering the existing type of position before and after the extension.

d) Regardless of the above, in those cases that for justified technical reasons, the modification of an existing referral position has been administratively authorized to include a new referral line, the investment value shall be calculated by considering whether it is a transformation from a sectioning position to a derivation position.

e) Extension of compression stations: As an investment value of the extension by application of the unit values, the difference between the investment values resulting from the application of the unit values will be taken fixed and variable, in force at the time of the implementation of the enlargement, considering the power installed in the EC before and after the enlargement.

3. For the purposes of calculating the operating costs of transport facilities which are subject to extensions,

following criteria shall apply:

a) Extension of regulation and/or measurement stations by additional lines: An operation cost equal to zero will be considered.

(b) Extension of regulation and/or measurement stations by replacement of equipment that increase the size of the station (G type): The difference between the unit operating values of the ERM/MS is taken before and after enlargement, applying in both cases the values in force at the time of the implementation of the enlargement.

c) Position extension: An operation and maintenance cost equal to zero will be considered.

d) Compression station amplifiers: The cost of operation and maintenance resulting from multiplying the power increase by the term operating variable shall be considered.

4. In the case of joint projects of extensions/modifications of ERM/MS located in the same position (change of G and additional line), while the authorisations, commissioning minutes and audits are joint, from the point of view Remuneration shall be considered as separate transport facilities, including in the remuneration system of transport facilities in a differentiated manner.

5. The minutes of the implementation of the extensions of transport facilities must include the initial characteristics of the installations before the enlargement, as well as the characteristics of the facility after its enlargement, as set out in the fourth final provision of Order ITC/1890/2010 of 13 July 2010 governing certain aspects relating to third party access and regulated remuneration in the natural gas system.

Article 4. Transportation maintenance centers.

1. It is defined as a maintenance centre the set of buildings and facilities intended to provide service and to ensure the proper functioning and good condition of the equipment and installations of the pipelines, the compression stations and the stations of regulation and/or measure associated with it.

A maintenance centre is made up of the land, together with its access, the building, the elements and systems, liabilities and/or assets, protection, security, communication, control and power supply, as well as any other equipment necessary for the proper functioning of the facility for the entire life of the asset.

3. The transport maintenance centres, in accordance with Articles 59 and 63 of Law No 34/1998 of 7 October, of the hydrocarbon sector are considered to be complementary installations of the gas system and elements of the network of transport, and therefore the procedures for granting administrative authorization for the construction, modification, operation, transmission and closure of installations provided for in the sector regulations will apply to them, and without prejudice to concessions and authorisations for the protection of the public domain which are necessary, in accordance with other applicable provisions, and in particular those relating to the organisation of the territory, town planning and the environment.

In applications for administrative authorisation for the construction, transmission and closure of a maintenance centre, together with the documentation required by the sector regulations, a document describing the procedure shall be attached. the impact of the new maintenance centre, or the transmission/closure of the existing one, in the list of pipelines attached to each maintenance centre of which the carrier is a holder.

4. The investment value of the building and the equipment of maintenance centres located in compression stations, regasification plants or underground storage facilities shall be considered for the purposes of inclusion in the remuneration scheme. and the calculation of the remuneration, as investments made at the compression station, the regasification plant or the underground storage containing it.

If the transport maintenance center has a shared use with the distribution activity, all distribution installation effects are considered.

5. Each maintenance centre must maintain at least 200 km of gas pipeline and the positions, ERM/MS or compression stations connected to them, without there being any pipelines attached to more than one centre. The minimum distance between two maintenance centres of the same carrier shall be 150 km measured on the shortest path between the two centres.

Before 31 October of each year, the operators of operation and maintenance centers will send to the Ministry of Industry, Tourism and Commerce and the National Energy Commission, the relationship of the new pipelines assigned to each center indicating its length, as well as the relationship of pipelines that have been reassigned to another maintenance center either by the commissioning of a new center, or by the transmission or closure of which they were attached.

6. For the purposes of the calculation of remuneration for depreciation and financial remuneration, the life of the maintenance centres shall be 20 years.

7. The holder of a centre for the operation and maintenance of gas installations, with construction completed after 1 January 2008, will be able to ask the Directorate General for Energy Policy and Mines to include them in the scheme. remuneration accompanying the application with the following documentation:

a) Features of the installation.

Article 5. Incentive to reduce the number of goods in the transport network.

1. Of all the gas owned by the users, the carrier shall account for losses and differences of measurement in the network for the quantities of gas resulting from the application of the percentages in force.

In case the total amount of gas discounted by the operator of the transport network by the application of the coefficient in force exceeds the actual amounts of the installation, the difference shall remain temporarily low. ownership of the System Technical Manager as maneuver gas. If the amount retained is less than the actual amounts, the difference will be temporarily covered by a decrease in the balance of the same account.

The System Technical Manager will provide the necessary technical instructions to achieve a proper location of these gas quantities, so that it does not interfere with the gas stored by the users.

2. Annually and before February 1, the transport network operators will present to the System Technical Manager, the National Energy Commission, and the General Directorate of Energy Policy and Mines a report on the amount of gas retained. the previous year by application on each transport network of the coefficients in force, the actual mermest produced.

The System Technical Manager will perform a study, referred to the previous year, of the actual mermas in the transport system and of all the mermas retained by the set of carriers at the points of entry, and distribute the latter between the transport networks, in proportion to the product of the geometric volume of the pipelines by the entries during the previous year and determine the positive and negative balance resulting from each transport network, which present to the Directorate General for Energy Policy and Mines and the National Energy Commission before April 1.

The calculation formula for the allocation to each carrier "i" of the retained (Mi) will be as follows:

Mi = M × (V_i × E_i)/_i (V_i × E_i)

Where:

-M: Total mermas retained in the transport system (kWh).

-M_i: Mermost retained assigned to carrier i (kWh).

-V_i: Total geometric volume of carrier i (m³) networks.

-E_i: Total gas entries in the carrier i networks during the previous year (kWh).

3. In the event that a transport network presents a positive gas balance, the Technical Manager of the System will reintegrate before 1 May half of it to its users, in proportion to the amount of gas circulated in the network in the year prior to holding the ownership of the rest of the gas as wiggle gas.

The excess of operating gas exceeding the volume of 300 GWh shall be used to cover the needs of gas operating gas or heel gas for the period from 1 July of the current year to 30 June of the year next.

4. Annually and before 1 June, the National Energy Commission will value the balance of the mermas of each transport network of the previous year included in the System Technical Manager's report, for which the arithmetic mean of the price of the Last year's operating gas. In the case of a positive value, half shall be added to the remuneration recognised to the holder of the transport network, whereas if the balance has a negative value, the whole of the previous quantity shall be reduced of the remuneration recognised to the holder of the network.

Article 6. Customers supplied by a last resort marketer without being entitled.

Consumers supplied by traders of last resort whose consumption during the previous year has exceeded the maximum threshold in force, will receive in the first invoice the notification in the terms established in the Article 2.7 of Royal Decree 104/2010 of 5 February 2010 regulating the implementation of the supply of last resort in the natural gas sector.
