Abstract: Abstract The entry-exit network access model has become standard in European gas transmission networks. It allows shippers to book capacity rights independently at entry and exit points. Compared to the former common distance or pathdependent point-to-point regimes, this model represents a general improvement towards more flexibility for shippers, system transparency and cost-reflective network tariffs. Nevertheless, efficient capacity management remains crucial to the avoidance of contractual congestion that could minimize the flexibility of the entry-exit system. Furthermore, fair balancing rules are necessary to enable entirely non-discriminatory network access. This chapter explains the characteristics, limitations and implications of the entry-exit model.
