SK-HU interconnector: Binding phase of the Open Season process

Eustream, in cooperation with FGSZ, announces the launch of the binding phase of the Open Season Process for the planned interconnection between their gas transmission systems (the SK-HU Interconnector). Both parties intend to allocate to market participants transmission capacities in their respective parts of the interconnector. The binding phase follows up the first, non-binding phase, which took place at the end of 2009 with positive results (for information on the non-binding phase click here). In this phase, the market participants can submit their binding booking bids for transmission capacity. Except of the participants, who have already registered in terms of the non-binding phase, also further applicants are invited.
