Transparency Guideline
The Transparency Guideline (Section 4 of Annex I to European Regulation (EU) 2024/1789) sets out the responsibility of a hydrogen network operator to publish technical information relevant to hydrogen transport. The table below specifies the information concerned and where it can be found.
| Reporting requirement | Where can this information be found on the website of Hynetwork? |
|---|---|
| a. a detailed and comprehensive description of the different services offered and their charges; | Description of tariffs: Transport tariff | Hynetwork. Services are described in the annexes to the General Terms and Conditions for Transport and Connections. |
| b. the different types of transport contracts available for those services; | At present, one type of transport contract is available: Transport tariff | Hynetwork. The General Terms and Conditions are also available in the GT&C. |
| c. the network codes and/or the standard conditions outlining the rights and responsibilities of all network users including: (i) harmonised transport contracts and other relevant documents; (ii) if relevant for access to the network, for all relevant points, a specification of relevant hydrogen quality parameters and the liability or costs of conversion for network users where hydrogen is outside those specifications; (iii) if relevant for access to the system, for all relevant points information on pressure requirements; | No network codes (methodologies and conditions) have yet been established for the hydrogen network. • General Terms and Conditions for Transport and Connections are available at: Contracts | Hynetwork |
| d. the harmonised procedures applied when using the hydrogen network, including the definition of key terms; | The available information is published on the website of Hynetwork. |
| e. if applicable, the flexibility and tolerance levels included in transport and other services without separate charge, as well as any flexibility offered in addition thereto and the corresponding charges; | PFS Annex 6 is available. |
| f. a detailed description of the hydrogen network of the hydrogen network operator and its relevant points of interconnection as defined in point 2 as well as the names of the operators of the interconnected networks or facilities; | Description of the roll-out plan: The roll-out plan | Hynetwork |
| g. the rules applicable for connection to the network operated by the hydrogen network operator; | General Terms and Conditions for Transport and Connections |
| h. information on emergency mechanisms, as far as it is the responsibility of the hydrogen network operator, such as measures that can lead to the disconnection of customers groups and other general liability rules that apply to the hydrogen network operator; | Emergency situations and curtailment |
| i. procedures agreed upon by hydrogen network operators at interconnection points, of relevance for access of network users to the hydrogen network concerned, relating to interoperability of the network. | This information is not currently available on the website of Hynetwork. It will become relevant once the interconnection points have been established. |
