The Register of Players contains information about shippers, gas suppliers and their consumer relations. The information is only available to the distribution companies and Energinet.dk. The register also includes information about the companies responsible for transmission, distribution and storage as well as about licensees.
Prospective shippers and suppliers in the Danish natural gas system must take preparatory steps to become able to operate in the market approx. two months before the first gas transport is to take place.
This page describes briefly the steps to follow in order to be entered into the Register of Players as either shipper or gas supplier on the Danish gas market. In case of doubt, we refer to Rules for Gas Transport.
Shipper and gas supplier - before entry into the Register of Players
In order for base data to be registered, both shippers and gas suppliers must have an EAN-GLN (European Article Number - Global Location Number). A company wishing to become both shipper and gas supplier must have two different numbers. The numbers can be obtained from GS1 Denmark, tel. +45 39 27 85 27. For further details go to www.gs1.dk.
The electronic form for the Register of Players is to be sent to Energinet.dk at anmodning@energinet.dk.
Prospective shippers and suppliers enter data under "Base data".
Shipper's entry into the Register of Players - Step by step
Energinet.dk uses a standard framework agreement (see Rules for Gas Transport, Appendix 2). A draft framework agreement and the electronic template for base data can be downloaded at the bottom of this page.
The request for conclusion of a framework agreement is to be accompanied by documentation in the form of shippers' most recent financial highlights and all subsequent interim financial annoncements as well as specification of the requested credit limit.
- Return the signed agreement, completed template for the Register of Players together with financial highlights to Energinet.dk, Market, Lautruphoej 7, DK-2750 Ballerup, Denmark.
- Energinet.dk must receive the base data and signed framework agreements a little more than two months before the first gas transport is to take place.
- If requested by Energinet.dk, the shipper must provide security before being admitted into the market.
When the credit limit has been arranged, the shipper will receive 2 copies of the framework agreement to be signed and returned to Energinet.dk.
The shipper is responsible for establishing his player relationships. When they are in place, Energinet.dk will assign the shipper his consumer portfolios.
Two months before the gas supply is to start

Capacity requests must be filed nine banking days before the month in which the first gas transport is to take place.

IT-testing of shipper's daily nominations is required, and the test must be approved three banking days before the first month in which the daily nomination is to begin.
