GAZ-SYSTEM has completed the incremental capacity procedure for the Poland - Ukraine interconnection point
On 6 July 2026, the transmission system operators of Poland (GAZ-SYSTEM) and Ukraine (LLC “Gas Transmission System Operator of Ukraine”) held an auction for bundled incremental capacity products at the border between the Polish and Ukrainian market areas at the GCP GAZ-SYSTEM/UA TSO interconnection point.
In response to market expectations, and with the consent of the President of the Polish Energy Regulatory Office, GAZ-SYSTEM has limited the procedure’s timeline to one year. In addition, the required financial security has been adjusted to meet the needs expressed by the market participants. The company has reduced the amount of the security to a level corresponding to the average monthly value of the system user’s financial obligations towards GAZ-SYSTEM and has shortened the period of its maintenance until the commencement of the transmission service using the capacity allocated under the incremental process.
The procedure was conducted in accordance with Commission Regulation (EU) 2017/459 of 16 March 2017 establishing a network code on capacity allocation mechanisms in gas transmission systems and repealing Regulation (EU) No 984/2013, and on the basis of applications for the approval of the incremental capacity project, which were approved by decisions of the relevant national regulatory authorities.
The next non-binding market screening under the incremental capacity process is scheduled for July 2027.
