Introduction

NTS Charges to Apply From 1 April 2016

This notice is issued in line with National Gridrsquos Gas Transporters Licence in respect of the NTS (ldquothe

Licencerdquo) The Licence requires National Grid to provide at least 150 daysrsquo notice of changes to its

gas transportation charges (the lsquoindicativersquo notice) This notice is issued with respect to changes that

will apply from 1 April 2016 Notice of the actual charges will be published by 1 February 2016 to

provide the two monthsrsquo notice required by the Licence and Network Code obligations

For the avoidance of doubt all charges not mentioned in this notice are unchanged from those in the 1

October 2105 Transportation Charging Statement

This notice is split into four parts

Basis of preparing Indicative charges

National Grid sets its charges to recover the price control allowances set by Ofgem The current

RIIO-T1 price control applies from 1 April 2013 to 31 March 2021

Charging Base

As in previous years we have used the lsquoGone Greenrsquo forecasts from the forecast Demand Statements

published by National Grid which assumes that the environmental targets set by the government are

met ie 15 of all energy from renewable sources by 2020 greenhouse gas emissions meeting the

carbon budgets out to 2027 and an 80 reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 For

201617 the charging base (gas flows) is forecast to decrease (-3) compared to that forecast for

201516 at October 2015 charges setting

Forecast flows to Ireland have reduced in 201617 to adjust for the introduction of the use of the new Corrib field off Ireland LDZ forecasts have also reduced though this has been offset by an increase in the forecast use of gas at power stations

TO Charges

TO Allowed Revenues

TO allowed revenue (which is shared 5050 between Entry and Exit activities) has increased from the

201516 level of pound749m to a level of pound801m an increase of pound52m (7) The details behind this

increase are listed below

Base Price Control Revenue (BR) has increased by pound34m due to a rise in the underlying base

revenue and an inflationary adjustment

Pass through items have been adjusted to reduce revenue by pound7m This includes the removal

of the adjustment which was added in 201516 only This is related to the funding of

independent systems (SIUs) following a Licence modification which allowed Scotia Gas

Networks to recover the additional costs in securing supplies of LNG from the Avonmouth

facility for the winter of 201213 due to the closure of Glenmavis LNG facility

National Grid has a Licence Condition relating to National Innovation Competition (NIC) which

allows funding for networks to provide innovative low carbon or environmental projects Ofgem

will issue a direction (the Funding Direction) in late November early December 2015 that will

set the total amount that is to be recovered from or returned to GB customers through NTS

charges to cover Gas NIC Funding (NICF) for 201516 We have assumed an NICF value of

pound187m for 201617

The Licence includes an adjustment for Output Incentives carried forward from 201415 This

year includes a pound32m Permit allowance carried forward from 201415 and a stakeholder

satisfaction revenue increase of pound2m

The under recovery from 201415 carries forward with a 2 year lag to 201617 The value of this

under-recovery (TO K) is pound16m which is equivalent to an increase in Allowed Revenues of

pound16m

DN Pension costs which are charged directly to the respective Distribution Networks (DNs) as

outlined in Table 1 below have been revised by an inflationary factor and are estimated to be

pound6025m in 201617 Any update to this number will be included in the final charges to be issued in

January 2016

The main uncertainties around the TO Maximum Allowed Revenue relate to the MOD term and the

NICF value both of which will be confirmed by Ofgem in time to set final charges for April 2016

A summary table of Allowed Revenues is shown in Appendix 1 of this document

TO Charges

NTS TO Entry Commodity Charge

The NTS TO Entry Commodity charge levied on entry flows is estimated to increase to 00504 pkWh

from its current rate of 00481 pkWh and from an average rate for 201516 of 00470 pkWh

representing an increase of 5 and 7 respectively With auction income forecast to decrease by

pound12m in 201617 and the TO Entry allowed revenue increasing by pound19m the increase in this rate is

primarily due to the increase in the revenue (+pound31m) that we are seeking to recover from TO Entry

Commodity charges

Given the uncertainty around the TO allowed revenue we have calculated the range may vary from

00463 pkWh (-8) to 00522 pKWh (4)

NTS TO Exit Commodity Charge

The TO Exit Commodity charge is expected to increase from its current rate of 00209 pkWh to

00226 pkWh an increase of 8 and an increase of 12 on the 201516 average of 00202 pkWh

The TO Exit Commodity charge is used to collect a potential shortfall in Exit Capacity income

compared to the allowed The shortfall is estimated to be pound17m higher than in 201516

We estimate the range around this charge to be around 00185 pkWh ( -18) and 00244 pkWh

(+8)

NTS Exit Capacity charges

NTS Exit Capacity charges are normally updated once a year effective from October

To account for the revised TO allowed revenue for 201617 in the indicative TO Exit Commodity rate

a revised view of TO Exit Capacity charges for 201617 has been calculated and used in the charge

setting process For reference these can be found in Appendix 2 however they do not replace those

rates that were published on 1 May 2015 and utilised for user commitment in the 2015 Exit Capacity

TO Charges

Distribution Network (DN) Pension Deficit Charge

DN Pension costs are estimated to be pound488m in 200910 prices and including inflation equates to

pound6025m for 201617 Any update to this number will be included in the final charges to be issued in

January 2016

SO Charges

SO Allowed Revenues The SO allowed revenue has increased by pound9m from the 201516 level of pound272m to pound281m (3)

Compared to 201516 October charge setting the main changes are

Base Revenue is forecast to reduce by pound5m due mainly to an increase in the revised SO MOD term

that is partially offset by a reduction in legacy revenue drivers The SO MOD value adjusts for a

number of items through an annual iteration of Ofgemrsquos Price Control Financial Model (PCFM) and

will be confirmed by Ofgem in late November early December 2015 For the purpose of Indicative

charges we have assumed a value of pound1m for the SO MOD term

A pound4m under recovery carried forward from 201415 increases allowed revenue in 201617 as

compared to a pound10m over recovery in 201516 (from 201314) giving a pound14m change from 201516

NTS SO Commodity Charges

The Indicative level of the NTS SO Commodity charge as applied to both entry and exit flows is

00159 pkWh compared to the current rate of 00148 pkWh (7) and from an average rate for

201516 of 00155 pkWh (3)

The main uncertainty around this charge is the value of shrinkage costs and the SO MOD term To

reflect this we estimate a variation of -15 +15 around our forecast of the SO Commodity rate

Other Charges

The St Fergus Compression charge levied at the Total Oil Marine (TOM) sub-terminal at St

Fergus is expected to increase from its current level of 00152 pkWh to an Indicative level of

00195 pkWh an increase of 28 and compared to an average rate of 00162 pkWh during

201516 an increase of 20 We estimate the range on this charge to be -10 +10 on

our forecast of the St Fergus Compression charge

The Connected System Exit Point (CSEP) Administration charge is expected to reduce to

00829 pday (or pound030 pa) per supply point in April 2016

A summary of the SO charges can be found in Appendix 3

representing an increase of 5 and 7 respectively With auction income forecast to decrease by

pound12m in 201617 and the TO Entry allowed revenue increasing by pound19m the increase in this rate is

primarily due to the increase in the revenue (+pound31m) that we are seeking to recover from TO Entry

Commodity charges

Given the uncertainty around the TO allowed revenue we have calculated the range may vary from

00463 pkWh (-8) to 00522 pKWh (4)

NTS TO Exit Commodity Charge

The TO Exit Commodity charge is expected to increase from its current rate of 00209 pkWh to

00226 pkWh an increase of 8 and an increase of 12 on the 201516 average of 00202 pkWh

The TO Exit Commodity charge is used to collect a potential shortfall in Exit Capacity income

compared to the allowed The shortfall is estimated to be pound17m higher than in 201516

We estimate the range around this charge to be around 00185 pkWh ( -18) and 00244 pkWh

SO Charges

SO Allowed Revenues The SO allowed revenue has increased by pound9m from the 201516 level of pound272m to pound281m (3)

Compared to 201516 October charge setting the main changes are

Base Revenue is forecast to reduce by pound5m due mainly to an increase in the revised SO MOD term

that is partially offset by a reduction in legacy revenue drivers The SO MOD value adjusts for a

number of items through an annual iteration of Ofgemrsquos Price Control Financial Model (PCFM) and

will be confirmed by Ofgem in late November early December 2015 For the purpose of Indicative

charges we have assumed a value of pound1m for the SO MOD term

A pound4m under recovery carried forward from 201415 increases allowed revenue in 201617 as

compared to a pound10m over recovery in 201516 (from 201314) giving a pound14m change from 201516

NTS SO Commodity Charges

The Indicative level of the NTS SO Commodity charge as applied to both entry and exit flows is

00159 pkWh compared to the current rate of 00148 pkWh (7) and from an average rate for

201516 of 00155 pkWh (3)

The main uncertainty around this charge is the value of shrinkage costs and the SO MOD term To

reflect this we estimate a variation of -15 +15 around our forecast of the SO Commodity rate

Other Charges

The St Fergus Compression charge levied at the Total Oil Marine (TOM) sub-terminal at St

Fergus is expected to increase from its current level of 00152 pkWh to an Indicative level of

00195 pkWh an increase of 28 and compared to an average rate of 00162 pkWh during

201516 an increase of 20 We estimate the range on this charge to be -10 +10 on

our forecast of the St Fergus Compression charge

SO Charges

SO Allowed Revenues The SO allowed revenue has increased by pound9m from the 201516 level of pound272m to pound281m (3)

Compared to 201516 October charge setting the main changes are

Base Revenue is forecast to reduce by pound5m due mainly to an increase in the revised SO MOD term

that is partially offset by a reduction in legacy revenue drivers The SO MOD value adjusts for a

number of items through an annual iteration of Ofgemrsquos Price Control Financial Model (PCFM) and

will be confirmed by Ofgem in late November early December 2015 For the purpose of Indicative

charges we have assumed a value of pound1m for the SO MOD term

A pound4m under recovery carried forward from 201415 increases allowed revenue in 201617 as

compared to a pound10m over recovery in 201516 (from 201314) giving a pound14m change from 201516

NTS SO Commodity Charges

The Indicative level of the NTS SO Commodity charge as applied to both entry and exit flows is

00159 pkWh compared to the current rate of 00148 pkWh (7) and from an average rate for

201516 of 00155 pkWh (3)

The main uncertainty around this charge is the value of shrinkage costs and the SO MOD term To

reflect this we estimate a variation of -15 +15 around our forecast of the SO Commodity rate

Other Charges

The St Fergus Compression charge levied at the Total Oil Marine (TOM) sub-terminal at St

Fergus is expected to increase from its current level of 00152 pkWh to an Indicative level of

00195 pkWh an increase of 28 and compared to an average rate of 00162 pkWh during

201516 an increase of 20 We estimate the range on this charge to be -10 +10 on

our forecast of the St Fergus Compression charge

The Connected System Exit Point (CSEP) Administration charge is expected to reduce to

00829 pday (or pound030 pa) per supply point in April 2016

A summary of the SO charges can be found in Appendix 3
