TSOs Creos Luxembourg and Fluxys Belgium, together with their respective regulators ILR and CREG, launched the BeLux area in 2015, establishing the first ever gas market integration between two EU Member States.

From the onset of the BeLux area Fluxys Belgium has been acting as a market-based balancing operator pending a number of regulatory and legal steps to be completed before Balansys could take up this role.

With the approval of the compliance programme by ACER and of all regulatory documents (Balancing Agreement, Balancing Code and Balancing Program) related to Balansys by ILR and CREG, Balansys now acts as a fully-fledged market-based balancing operator for the BeLux area.

Belgian regulator CREG and Luxembourg regulator ILR approved all regulatory documents (Balancing Agreement, Balancing Code and Balancing Program) related to Balansys, the joint undertaking founded by Creos Luxembourg and Fluxys Belgium in order to act as market-based balancing operator for the BeLux area.

Following this approval, Balansys accepted the delegation of the market-based balancing activity from Fluxys Belgium as from 1 June 2020 and will become, as from that date, the Balancing Operator in the BeLux area.

Your access to the Fluxys Belgium and Creos Luxembourg Transmission Services is our priority, therefore:

• the Balancing Agreement (BA) has to be signed with Balansys,
• a revised Standard Transmission Agreement (STA) has to be signed with Fluxys Belgium and/or a revised Contrat Cadre Fournisseur (CCF) has to be signed with Creos Luxembourg.

This revised STA/CCF will entirely replace the previously signed STA/CCF, as from 1 June 2020.

As from June 1, 2020, Balansys will become cross-border balancing operator for the BeLux area, please find below a presentation on all the changes.

If you have any questions, please contact us via mail : info@balansys.dev.lightbulb.lu
