Transcost - the guide Introduction What is Transcost? Trancost is an economic model developed by Transco to support the setting of capacity charges paid by shippers for transporting gas on the National Transmission System (NTS). The National Transmission System is Tra n s c o ’s high pre s s u re network which takes gas from terminals and storage sites to Local D i s t ribution Zones, t h rough wh i ch it is tra n s p o rted to end consumers. There are two separate charges for using the NTS, the capacity and commodity charge. The commodity charge is a flat rate per therm charge intended to reflect the operating costs of transporting the gas, for example compressor fuel. The capacity charge broadly experience on the coldest day in a twenty year period.This is known reflects the capital cost of reinforcing the system to cope with as the 1 in 20 peak day. As demand rises,the capacity which will be increased demand. Transcost estimates what these capital costs will needed on a 1 in 20 peak day rises accordingly. In order to convey to be for a given increment of demand, and hence can estimate cost u s e rs the costs of re i n fo rcing the system to meet additional reflective charges. demands, Transcost simulates an increase in demand and calculates the associated costs. Why is Transcost needed? Starting with a base network transporting gas on a 1 in 20 peak day, Transcost will be used in conjunction with the Long R
