In addition, the proper meaning of the nominations of the hourly, daily and monthly reports will also be aligned. Allocation details relating to delivery months from September onwards will be drawn up in the new format. More information can be found here: https://www.fluxys.com/en/products-services/covering/belgium/operational-information.

We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused.

Please also read these important notices :

Improvement and uniformization of the Allocation Details ('Monthly Details Version') : The figures for the allocations are currently expressed in the unit of kWh without decimals. In the new format, the figures will contain 3 decimals, so that the sum of the hourly reports corresponds better with the daily and monthly reports. In addition, the proper meaning of the nominations of the hourly, daily and monthly reports will also be aligned. Allocation details relating to delivery months from September onwards will be drawn up in the new format. More information can be found here: https://www.fluxys.com/en/products-services/covering/belgium/operational-information. 

Please take care to realize the necessary modifications timely in your systems as this change impacts the manual and automatic downloads.

We thank you for your comprehension and collaboration.

Dear customers, network users,

In order to maintain an appropriate level of services to our clients, we will  perform some maintenance activities on our ICT infrastructure on Wednesday 12 February 2020 from 10:00 to 14:00h AND on Wednesday 18 March 2020 from 03:15 to 08:00h.

 Please bear in mind that:

• Nomination, Provisional Hourly Allocation Form (BALL) and Gas In Storage (GIS) messages will be impacted.
• The Electronic Data Platform (EDP) will be unavailable during this timeframe.

We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused.

Please also read these important notices :  

• TLS 1.2 (Transport Layer Security):   As from 19 February 2020 , Fluxys Belgium will only allow communication through the TLS1.2 protocol that provides privacy and data integrity. Communication with older versions of the TLS protocol (TLS1.1, TLS1.0, SSL) will no longer be supported. All the exchanged data and messages will be impacted. More detailed information can be found here . (Link naar : https://easee-gas.eu/news/easee-gas-publishes-cbp-2017-002-01-on-secure-communication-over-the-internet )
• Domestic Exit Point à Domestic Point :  As from 18 March 2020 the designation of ‘Domestic Exit Point’ will be changed to ‘Domestic Point’, as Fluxys Belgium also offers the possibility not only to consume gas (exit) but also to inject green gas into its grid (entry). In case you use this designation as a reference when retrieving data, this call should also be adapted accordingly.
• VIP BENE :  As from 1 April 2020,  Fluxys Belgium and GTS will introduce a Virtual Interconnection Point (VIP), named VIP-BENE, between ZTP-H and TTF. This VIP will combine the interconnection points Zelzate 1, Zandvliet H and ‘s Gravenvoeren. From 1 April 2020 onwards, all market activities, such as capacity booking, nominations, allocations or invoicing, will be operated on the VIP. More detailed information can be found here .  

• New layout of the Allocation Details : Since there have recently been some main evolutions (suspension of the scheduling fees, the creation of production units,... ), we have developed new allocation details to reflect better the current situation. Allocation details relating to delivery months from April onwards will be drawn up in the new format. Allocation Details relating to delivery months March and before will remain in the old format, even if they are generated after 1 April. This change will have an impact on both the manual and the automatic download.  More information can be found here.

Dear Customer,        

In order to maintain an appropriate level of services to our clients, the implementation of the following important changes on our ICT infrastructure is planned:

• TLS 1.2 (Transport Layer Security):  As from Februari 19^th 2020, Fluxys Belgium will only allow communication through the TLS 1.2 protocol that provides privacy and data integrity. Communication with older versions of the TLS protocol (TLS1.1, TLS1.0, SSL) will no longer be supported. All the exchanged data and messages will be impacted. More detailed information can be found here.

• Invoice XML and invoice detail XML:  The new regulated tariffs for Fluxys Belgium will be in force as from January 1^st 2020. Therefore the invoice XML and invoice detail XML have been adapted (manual download). Changes consist of new CustomerProductCodes, as well as changes to the components in the price formulas (e.g. introduction of the NYM – Non-Yearly Multiplier). We also used the opportunity to simplify the scaling of quantities and unit prices to the concerned period.  The first invoices drawn up according to this new structure will be published on January 10^th 2020. More detailed information can be found in the document ‘Product Sheet Transmission Tariffs 2020’.

To ensure that your internal processes will continue to run smoothly, please undertake the necessary steps to inform the right people within your company to implement these changes.

• Old Codification for Metering references no longer supported

The tools "Daily Refreshed measurements on nodes and lines" and "Hourly Refreshed measurements on nodes and lines" , based on the old reference (e.g. 01789/1), are no longer maintained nor updated and are henceforth placed in a separate folder "No longer supported tools".

In order to maintain an appropriate level of services, we will perform a maintenance intervention on our ICT infrastructure on Wednesday 25 March 2015 from 04:00 to 08:00
As a consequence, nominations, Ball, Gis and IMBNOT messages will be impacted.
The Electronic Data Platform (EDP) will not be available during this period.
We thank you for your comprehension and collaboration.

Please note that the following new functionalities are implemented on our Electronic Data Platform.

In the section Transmission :
Capacities & Contracts : As from now on it is possible to consult capacities for the next 15 years (instead of 18 months) under the tab ‘Capacities on Interconnection Points ‘. (Attention, the download can only be done for blocks of 2 years.). The separate tab ‘Longterm Capacities’ will therefore be removed.

In the section Transmission, Storage & LNG terminalling :
In accordance with the REMIT requirements for publishing inside information, a section “REMIT messages” is added for publishing, amongst others, information relating to outages impacting the capacities for Transmission, the storage facility of Loenhout or the LNG Terminal of Zeebrugge.

Please note that on December 11th 2014 new functionalities will be implemented on our Electronic Data Platform:
