Conversion to daylight saving time

[21 October 2008]

On gas day October 25th 2008 there will be a switch from summer time to winter time. Therefore this gas day will have 25 hours. To avoid any problems, please be aware of the following:

  • As we expect nominations according the edigas protocol, the nomination for gas day October 25th consists of 25 hours. Translated to UTC, the nomination for this gas day begins at 04:00 UTC (06:00 LET) and ends at 05:00 UTC (also 06:00 LET). If you use ENOM with appropriate settings, this feature is facilitated when nominating for this gas day. When not using ENOM, please make sure that edigas messages will have this timeframe.
  • If possible please try to avoid sending nominations between 01:00 LET and 04:00 LET. Due to possible technical limitations, incoming nominations may be handled differently from the normal process and consequently introduce an extra risk.
  • As the nomination consists of 25 hours, the daily amount will normally increase with the same factor, so 25/24 part will be delivered. If shippers prefer to keep the daily amount at the original level, they need to decrease their hourly quantities.
