Shipper information and contacts

Detailed information on energy balancing, including reconciliations and who to contact for support.

As System Operator, National Grid and NTS shippers are incentivised to balance NTS inputs and outputs on a daily basis.

Under the Uniform Network Code (UNC), shippers are incentivised to balance their system inputs and outputs and make accurate nominations using the Gemini system.

Financial energy balancing charges, invoiced by Correla on behalf of Xoserve, may be incurred if shippers are unable to balance their portfolio by the end of the gas day.

Our summary document 'Energy Balancing - After the Day and Invoicing' provides an overview of the process, charges and contacts.
