2.2.4 UPDATES ON INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS IN THE REGION

The Region appears very dynamic in terms of infra- structure developments as well, in particular in relation to transmission projects. On the basis of a data collec- tion request organized by ENTSOG and completed in September 2013, the Region has 77 projects. For 25 of them, a final investment decision (FID) has been taken (32% of the total, see Figure 2.6). The detailed breakdown of the number of projects per country, project type and FID status is provided in the following table:

Table 2.1: Types of projects in the in the South-North Corridor Region;Data grouped in this table are sourced from the lists of projects (see Tables 2.2 to 2.4)

Figure 2.7 shows the situation in terms of the aggregate number of projects (FID+ non-FID) for all countries composing the Region. The result indicates, as reasonably expected, that the three major systems to- gether forms almost the total amount of projects (95%), with France (at more the 40% of the total) leading the Region in terms of envisaged initiatives. However, the total number should be read in connec- tion with the specific list of projects (see following section), since different ways of representing them could have been adopted depending on the project promoters’ choices. In other words, some TSOs adopt a more fragmented manner when identifying infra- structure enhancements, while other TSOs can decide to group together multiple initiatives into a single project, justified by the same objective. Moreover, this analysis is based on the number of projects, not providing indications about the "size" of projects themselves.
