The Downstream Reconciliation market fees are monthly fees that cover the ongoing costs associated with allocation/downstream reconciliation arrangements. The ongoing allocation costs are:
- The costs payable to the Allocation Agent.
- The costs of Gas Industry Co associated with allocation and its obligations under the Reconciliation Rules.
Each month, Gas Industry Co invoices gas retailers for a proportion of the market fees based on their market share of 'allocated' gas (the gas that flows through reticulated gas networks and is used by their customers connected to each network).
Gas Industry Co estimates the ongoing allocation costs prior to each financial year, collects market fees in monthly installments throughout the year, and then performs an end of year wash-up once the actual costs are known.
Ongoing costs for previous years costs are found on the left-hand navigation of this page.
