Netherlands Territory

As national transmission system operator is Gas Transport Services B.V. (GTS) (wholly owned subsidiary of N.V. Nederlandse Gasunie) responsible for the management, the operation and the development of the national transmission grid on an economic basis. It ensures sufficient transport capacity, balances the grid and creates/maintains connections to other grids.
GTS also has public tasks related to the security of supply in extreme cold weather conditions and related to the small-fields policy (the extraction of natural gas from small fields).
