Trading Participant, being a Market Participant

A Trading Participant who has nominated to trade only Physical Capacity will only be admitted to trade Physical Capacity.

Reallocation Participant, being a Market Participant

An Agent Member is appointed by one or more Appointing Members to act as agent for the Appointing Members under and in connection with the Exchange Agreement. If the Agent Member is also an Agent Participant under an Auction Agreement, a corresponding application must also be made under the Auction Agreement.

A joint appointment means that the Agent Members must act on behalf of all the Appointing Members jointly and not act for any Appointing Member individually and any changes to the Agent Member or the Appointing Members must be approved by all of the parties and the Agent Member can only participate in the Exchange in its capacity as Agent Member under the joint appointment. If it is not a joint appointment (such as a company in a corporate group acting as agent for other companies in the corporate group), the Agent Member may act for each Appointing Member individually and an Appointing Member may change its agent without needing approval of other Appointing Members that have appointed the same agent. In both cases though, in relation to an Agent Member and its Appointing Members the obligations of the Appointing Members are joint and several obligations of those Appointing Members.

A Trading Participant who is a party to a capacity transfer at a DWGM interface point (as defined in the CTA Procedures) may nominate a person at that point to use the capacity, in the Trading Participant’s capacity as agent for that person. That person, who is the Nominated DWGM Participant must be registered as a Market Participant (as defined in Part 19 of the Rules) in the declared wholesale gas market established under that Part.

Type ‘Head Office’ or name of branch
