(15)Gas Years (2026/2027 up to and 2040/2041) of 29.016.000 kW/Day according to the provisions of point B above and the provision of Annual Transmission Capacity for Delivery of 5.385.600 kWh/Day through competing auctions with the Kipi Entry Point, as referred to in point A.1 above and 2) For the Gas Year 2026/2027, the provision of Quarterly, Monthly, Daily and Within Day Transmission Capacity for Delivery products, equal to the Available Capacity of the Point, as this will be calculated considering the results of the previous auctions for the allocation of standard capacity products of greater or equal duration at the "Kipi" Entry Point and the "Amfitriti" Entry Point. C. Interconnection Point Nea Mesimvria The provision through auctions, on the PRISMA auction platform, in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2017/459, at the NGTS Interconnection Point "Nea Mesimvria", the amount of which will be determined in accordance with the European Regulation (CAM) 2017/459, in cooperation with the upstream TSO.

- Interruptible Transmission Capacity for Reception on an Annual, Quarterly, Monthly and Daily basis for Gas Year 2026/
- Furthermore, taking into account that TAP correlates the quality of the available capacity products (firm/ interruptible) with the direction of the Natural Gas, we consider it appropriate to make available the entire Firm Transmission Capacity for Delivery and for Reception in Nea Mesimvria as unbundled, by way of derogation from the provisions of Article 19 of Regulation (EU) 2017/
- Otherwise, we note that there is a risk that, due to bundling, there will remain unallocated Firm Transmission Capacity for Delivery at the "Nea Mesimvria" Interconnection Point, thus making impossible the transmission of Natural Gas, via TAP: • from Italy to Greece and • from Greece to Bulgaria In particular, in this case it will not be possible for Transmission Users to use, at the Interconnection Point "Nea Mesimvria", • the Firm Transmission Capacity for Delivery to transport Natural Gas from Italy, since it will only be provided as bundled product with the TAP Firm exit Capacity at the same Point, which is provided exclusively for the transmission of Natural Gas from Turkey. • the Firm Transmission Capacity for Reception to transport Natural Gas to Bulgaria (via IGB), since it will only be provided as bundled product with the TAP Firm entry Capacity at the same Point, which is provided exclusively for the transmission of Natural Gas to Italy and Albania. Furthermore, DESFA will not be able to provide Interruptible Capacity for Delivery/Reception at the "Nea Mesimvria" Interconnection Point, in case the Firm Transmission Capacity for Delivery/Reception at this Point remains available due to its bundling (see Article 20B, paragraph 2 of the NGTS Code). Additionally, it is noted that the firm Transmission Capacity at the Interconnection Point "Nea Mesimvria" shall be offered as unbundled capacity, until the interconnected operator (TAP) offers firm Transmission Capacity at this Point, regardless of the direction of the Natural Gas in this pipeline. D. Interconnection Point Desfa/IGB Due to technical constraints of the NGTS, to not offer Transmission Capacity for Reception or Delivery on Firm or Interruptible basis at the Interconnection Point "Komotini - DESFA/IGB". E. Coupled Points : 'Amfitriti' - 'Komotini (DESFA/IGB)’ The provision of Natural Gas Transmission Service at Coupled Points, from the NGTS Entry Point "Amfitriti" to the Exit Point "Komotini (DESFA/IGB)", the point at which the National Natural Gas Transmission System and the interconnecting gas pipeline Greece - Bulgaria (IGB) are interconnected, and the establishment of a corresponding pair of Coupled Points as follows: Entry Point "Amfitriti" - Exit Point "Komotini (DESFA / IGB)" ΚΕΝΤΡΙΚΑ ΓΡΑΦΕΙΑ : Λ. ΜΕΣΟΓΕΙΩΝ 357-359, 152 31 ΧΑΛΑΝΔΡΙ, ΤΗΛ.: 213 0884000, FAX : 213 0884388 www.desfa.gr, e-mail: desfa@desfa.gr ΣΥΝΗΜΜΕΝΟ Ρυθµιστική Αρχή Αποβλήτων Ενέργειας και Υδάτων 29/04/2026 Α. Π.: I-415413 For the selection of the above Points, the following were considered: a. the technical constraints of the NNGTS and in particular the constraints existing on the KARPERI - KOMOTINI pipeline section, which do not allow Firm Transmission Capacity to be made available at that Point b. the fact that the transit of additional quantities of natural gas through the route "Amfitriti" - "Komotini (DESFA / IGB)" contributes to a better use of the existing capacity of the National Natural Gas Transmission System. In particular, it is proposed to allocate, through auctions on the PRISMA auction platform, quantity equal to 79.412.000 kWh/day of Delivery/Reception Capacity (BZK) to the pair of Coupled Points "Amfitriti" and "Komotini DESFA/IGB", as follows: Transmission Capacity for Delivery/Reception (BZK) to Coupled Points 'Amfitriti' - 'Komotini (DESFA/IGB)’, respectively: 1) Annual Transmission Capacity for Delivery/Reception product, the amount of which will be determined in accordance with the European Regulation (CAM) 2017/459, for each of the Gas Years 2026/2027 up to and including Year 2030/2031 2) Quarterly, Monthly, Daily and Within Day Transmission Capacity for Delivery/Reception products, at the Coupled Points, equal to the available capacity as this will be derived from the results of the previous auctions for the allocation of standard products of greater or equal duration. It is noted that for the determination of this capacity, the following were considered: • the transmission capacity for reception, that was offered on the Annual Auctions of GY 2024/2025 up to (and including) 2028/2029 (119.412.000 kWh/Day) • the existing technical capacity of the IGB pipeline in Komotini (107.
- 013 kWh/Day which is made available through competing auctions at the Interconnection Points "Komotini DESFA/IGB" and "Komotini - TAP/IGB"), • the minimum quantity allocated at the Interconnection Point "Komotini - TAP/IGB" since the start of operation of this point until today, which is equal to 27.479.652 kWh/Day (note: the above data were taken from the ENTSOG transparency platform) F. Coupled Points: ‘Amfitriti' - 'Sidirokatsro’ The provision of Natural Gas Transmission Services from the NNGTS Entry Point "Amfitriti", the point at which the NNGTS is interconnected with the INGS Alexandroupolis, to the Reverse Flow Exit Point "Sidirokastro", the point at which the NNGTS is interconnected with the national natural gas transmission system of Bulgaria. For the selection of the above Points were considered the results of the calculations carried out by DESFA regarding the possibility of transporting natural gas through the NNGTS branch Komotini Karperi in the direction from Komotini to Karperi, in addition to those that can be transported by using Transmission Capacity for Delivery as referred to points B and E above. On the basis of the above calculations, it has been concluded that it is possible to deliver quantities of gas at the NNGTS ΚΕΝΤΡΙΚΑ ΓΡΑΦΕΙΑ : Λ. ΜΕΣΟΓΕΙΩΝ 357-359, 152 31 ΧΑΛΑΝΔΡΙ, ΤΗΛ.: 213 0884000, FAX : 213 0884388 www.desfa.gr, e-mail: desfa@desfa.gr ΣΥΝΗΜΜΕΝΟ Ρυθµιστική Αρχή Αποβλήτων Ενέργειας και Υδάτων 29/04/2026 Α. Π.: I-415413 Entry Points located east of Komotini, provided that equal quantity is being off taken at the Reverse Flow Exit Point "Sidirokastro" (provision of Coupled Transmission Capacity for Delivery). The provision of the Natural Gas Transmission Service at the above Pair of Coupled Points will contribute to the better utilization of the existing infrastructure of the NNGTS. More specifically, it is proposed that for the Couple Point "Amfitriti" to be offered Coupled Transmission Capacity For Delivery for the Pair of Coupled Points «Amfitriti» - «Sidirokastron», through auctions on the PRISMA auction platform: Transmission Capacity for Delivery (BZK) at “Amfitriti” 1) Yearly Transmission Capacity for Delivery (BZK) product, equal to 40.000.000 kWh/Day for each of the Gas Years 2026/2027 to (and including) 2030/2031 (5 Years) 2) Quarterly and Monthly Transmission Capacity for Delivery products, equal to the available Coupled Capacity for Delivery of that Point, as derived from the results of the previous auctions of standard products of equal or longer duration. It is noted that for the use of the Coupled Transmission Capacity for Delivery at "Amfitriti" Entry Point, the provisions of Article 36 of the NNGS Tariff Regulation are applied, i.e. Transmission Capacity Tariff Coefficient is reduced by 10% G. Interconnection Point Sidirokastro The provision through auctions, on the RBP auction platform, in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2017/459, at the NGTS Interconnection Point "Sidirokastro" the total Available Transmission Capacity for Delivery/ Reception for the next 15 Gas Years, the amount of which will be determined in accordance with the European Regulation (CAM) 2017/459, in cooperation with the upstream TSO.
