For shippers

Our allocation algorithms ensure a discrimination-free, fair auction procedure for all participants. Long-term products are marketed using an ascending clock auction algorithm while short-term products are marketed using a uniform price auction algorithm.

Pre-plan your bidding activities and create future bids for day-ahead or long-term auctions using our comfort bid functionality.

Or, avoid the hassles of an auction and book capacity on a first-come-first-served (FCFS) basis for operators who provide this service.

You can trade overbooked capacity via different methods : OTC, CFO and FCFS

Over the Counter (OTC): If you have a pre-negotiated deal with another shipper, then you can use the platform to register and publish the trade as required by local regulation. Both parties know each other and negotiate the price and conditions of the trade in advance.

Call for orders (CFO): Alternatively, you can propose the trade to the whole market. Select the trade responses that best suit your interests from a range of potential trading partners within a timeframe of your choice.

First-come-first-served (FCFS): Just like in the primary gas market, offer your overbooked capacity in a trade proposal open to the public. Sell to the first responder at the fixed price that was set.

In a storage auction, bid your desired price and quantity on the SSO offer and get notified about the results via PRISMA's notification service. Moreover, get updates on all offers that are of interest to you at your favorite storage point(s) by activating instant notifications.

You can also book capacity at your convenience using the FCFS functionality.  Request any amount of capacity outside the auction without any restriction on the kind of product and its runtime. Once you place the request, the platform checks the availability with the SSO and immediately informs you.
