Entering a new European gas market: what needs to be in place?

DRAFT – This article has not yet been reviewed or approved by EEP and is not final.

Market access comes with local requirements

European gas markets have their own licensing, registration and network requirements. Building your own shipping setup means arranging those requirements in each market where you want to operate.

EEP offers another route. Active shipping licences in more than 15 European countries give customers access to major European hubs through one operational partner.

Access is the beginning

Once you enter a market, gas still needs to move. Capacity must be booked, nominations submitted and positions monitored from day-ahead through to within-day.

These activities connect your commercial decisions to their operational execution. EEP brings shipping, capacity bookings and balancing together, coordinating the flow across the markets where you operate.

Start with your requirements

The first conversation is about your business: your active markets, volumes and where the operational load sits today. A proposal then defines the scope, responsibilities and pricing before activation begins.

You retain control over your commercial strategy and customer relationships. EEP manages the agreed operational layer around them.
