User Pays Documentation

With effect from 1 April 2008, some Xoserve provided services are subject to the User Pays approach. The services concerned and the associated charges can be found in the Agency Charging Statement, which is produced jointly by the relevant Gas Transporters and is published here along with the supporting contractual arrangements and terms and conditions.

Papers associated with meetings held in support of the User Pays approach are also available here. Further information on the approach and services is available on the Xoserve website at www.xoserve.com/UPS_Home.asp
