The Gas (Downstream Reconciliation) Rules 2008 went into full operation (go-live) on 1 October 2008. These Rules provide for participants or the allocation agent to apply for exemptions from the rules, and these applications can be standard, urgent or transitional.
Exemption applications were invited in late July so that they could be processed before go-live. Including two transitional applications from Gas Industry Co itself, a total of 18 applications were received. It was decided to consult participants on all of these applications, so that we could be sure that the interests of all participants would be appropriately recognised and taken into account. Exemption applications also formed a very useful part of the information-sharing process leading up to go-live.
