Hydrogen information package from Gasgrid
Gasgrid Finland has published its first hydrogen information package. It aims to meet the market's information needs on the development of the Finnish hydrogen network and the principles of access and operation. The information package contains, among other things, Gasgrid's current view on the development of the market, the principles of grid access and the market model for hydrogen pipeline transmission. It also facilitates the collection of feedback from market participants on market needs for network operation and market rules and supports market dialogue from the early stages of market formation.
- As we are creating a whole new infrastructure, ecosystem and industry, and a lot is happening in the industry at the same time, Gasgrid considers an active market dialogue and participatory process to be very valuable. Through the Hydrogen Information Packages, Gasgrid can share information with market participants on the development of the Finnish hydrogen network and the wider European market," says Sara Kärki, Director of Hydrogen Development at Gasgrid.
-The aim is that the information shared on the principles and market model for connection to the hydrogen network will serve as a basis for future hydrogen market conditions, which will be developed in cooperation with market participants," say Henriikka Pilpola and Elina Mäki from Gasgrid, who compiled the information pack.
The first information package draws together the development of the hydrogen network in Finland and Europe
The published information package is the first in a series of information packages. The first information package brings together general views on the development of the hydrogen network in Finland and more widely in the Baltic Sea region and the European Union.
The package sheds light on the hydrogen network development process, the customer connection process, technical design principles for transmission infrastructure, routing and authorisation processes, network connection principles and the market model for hydrogen pipeline transmission, as well as the regulatory framework defined by the EU gas package.
The Hydrogen Information Package will be updated approximately once or twice a year. Future packages will go into more depth on selected topics, taking into account, for example, developments in EU and national legislation, EU network rules and lessons already learned from the European market.
Give feedback on the package and influence the future traction market
With the Hydrogen Information Package, Gasgrid aims not only to increase market dialogue but also to reduce market uncertainty. Gasgrid invites market participants to participate in a dialogue to shape future hydrogen network operations and the path towards well-functioning hydrogen market rules. Regulators, investors, municipalities and other stakeholders will also be key participants in the dialogue.
You can access the first Hydrogen Information Package (PDF) and give Gasgrid feedback on its content. The first version of the information package is currently available in English. Gasgrid has also opened a market consultation to which you can submit your feedback on the package and your wishes for the next version of the Hydrogen Information Package.
