Please be aware that National Gas is changing over to a new Energy Identification Code (EIC) on Tuesday 9th September. Users of the two APIs below are required to change the EIC code in the appropriate payload requests. Please do not place any API requests for the two APIs listed below between 09:00 and 10:00 (BST).
1. View IP Nomination (data item: RECIPIENT_MARKETPARTICIPANT.IDENTIFICATION)
2. Add/Update IP Nomination (data item: INTERNALACCOUNTTSO)
This is to ensure that API requests continue to be recognised by Gemini. If this update is not done by Shippers, then any API requests made containing the old EIC Code will be rejected.
There will be no impact to any IP nominations that have be placed prior to the implementation date as these will have already flowed through to the TSOs to confirm the re/nominations.
Please note online access to Gemini will continue to be available. Only the two impacted APIs will not be available during the implementation window all other API will continue to be available.
