Structure

The Energy Trading Platform or ‘ETP’ enables trading members (natural gas buyers and sellers) to complete short term (up to 7 days) and medium term (up to 90 days) trades timely, efficiently and securely. Long term trades are also accomodated, though the focus of the ETP commercial documentation is on short to medium term transactions.

Level playing field

All trading platform members agree to standard documentation including Platform Market Rules, Platform Membership Deed, Firm Gas Supply and Purchase Agreement and Interruptible Gas Supply and Purchase Agreement. These allow Members to trade Firm gas, Interruptible gas and Imbalances. These established market protocols and rules are operated under clear guidelines ensuring participants’ rights and obligations are met.

Market information
The platform offers members (both trading and non-trading) aggregate information in relation to gas quantities and average trading prices. The Energy Access Services website also provides a snapshot of high and low contract gas prices for gas traded during the previous month.

A secure, efficient trading service in a challenging and competitive gas market
