ENTSOG GRIP SNC 2014-2023

B. BLAREGNIES / TAISNIÈRE (BE/FR)

This IP connects Belgium and France with L and H gas. It was used at its highest point in February 2012, when demand reached record levels in France caused by a cold snap, and in December 2013, when the commercial capacity was raised from 570 GWh/d to 640 GWh/d. The Blaregnies IP shows available capacities for H-gas and well-connected markets with low price spreads (March 2013 excepted). As from the end of 2015, physical firm capacity becomes available from France to Belgium when the Dunkirk LNG terminal under construction will be connected to the Belgian grid. This will be achieved by the creation of a new interconnection point at Alveringem/ Veurne.
