ENTSOG GRIP SNC 2014-2023

D. OLTINGUE / RODERSDORF (FR/CH)

The gas flow between France and Italy through Switzerland has fallen in 2012 as prices on PSV got closer to the common levels in neighboring gas hubs. The IP was used at its maximum capacity during the cold snap in February 2012 and in late 2013 when Greenstream (Libyan supply to Italy) was shut down for eight days. The IP is fully booked. Between November 2012 and April 2013, prices on PSV were often lower than at PEG Nord. Gas flows could not be reversed to answer market needs, but they regularly reached minimum levels, confirming that the reverse ability could be use- ful for the market.
