Market Access

HOW TO OPERATE

Natural gas market is managed through an IT system that participants can access through Internet.
Access to gas market IT system takes place through security procedures characterized by digital identification tools, smart cards, designed to guarantee authentication of the electronic signature and, therefore, the conclusion of gas purchase contracts. The digital certificate for market access can be issued by Agid-certified certification companies and must comply with the provisions of the DigitPA Resolution - Digit PA - N. 45 of 21 May 2009 as subsequently amended and supplemented (Commissioner Order ed 69-2010).
The market is managed by GME's market hall (insert link to the MARKET HALL file) where all the computer equipment that allows the collection and management of transactions is installed, in conditions of maximum security.
