The appendix complements the provisions of Section B. Clause 1 Definitions Daily Quality Conversion Capacity from L-gas to H-gas: maximum quantity of energy, expressed in MWh (GCV) per day, which GRTgaz undertakes to deliver each Day at the L-to-H Conversion Point, as defined in Appendix 2 to the Contract. Daily Quality Conversion Capacity from H-gas to L-gas Peak Service: maximum quantity of energy, expressed in MWh (GCV) per day, which GRTgaz undertakes to take off each day at the H-to-L Conversion Point - Peak Service, as defined in Appendix 2 to the Contract. Conversion Point: generic term to define one of the following points: L-to-H Conversion Point: virtual Delivery Point associated with L-gas Area of the Balancing Zone North. H-to-L Conversion Point as part of the H-gas to L-gas conversion service: a virtual Entry Point related to L-gas Area to which the Daily Quantities are allocated in the framework of the H-gas- to L-gas quality conversion service provided by the Shipper in Charge of the H-Gas to L-gas Quality Conversion Service. H-to-L Conversion Point Peak Service: a virtual Entry Point related to L-gas Area of the Balancing Zone North. Daily Quantity Converted from H-gas to L-gas as part of the H-Gas to L-gas Quality Conversion Service: quantity of energy, expressed in MWh (GCV), delivered to the H-to-L Conversion Point as part of the H-gas to L-gas quality conversion service. This quantity is determined according to the provisions of the clause entitled Daily Quantity of gas Converted from H-gas to L-gas as part of the H-gas to L-gas Quality Conversion Service of Section D3. Daily Quantity Converted from H-gas to L-gas Peak Service: quantity of energy, expressed in MWh (GCV), taken off at the H-to-L Conversion Point - Peak Service. This quantity is determined according to the provisions of Clause 3 of this Appendix. Daily Quantity Converted from L-gas to H-gas: quantity of energy, expressed in MWh (GCV), delivered to the L-to-H Conversion Point. This quantity is determined according to the provisions of Clause 3 of this Appendix. Conversion Service: generic term to define one of the following services: L-gas to H-gas Conversion Service: GRTgaz operates a service whereby GRTgaz takes off quantities of L-gas made available by the Shipper and simultaneously provides Version applicable as of October, 1 st 2017 Page 2 of 6
