few remaining outstanding issues (e.g. odorisation). As a result, the coordinated market process was discontinued in April 2013 and postponed. Fluxys TENP, FluxSwiss, Fluxys Belgium and Snam Rete Gas closely work together to solve any remaining open issues involved, and the marketing of reverse flow capacities will be relaunched as soon as possible. GRTgaz and FluxSwiss are discussing with prospective customers and involved regulators the performance of a market test. In the current project planning, capacity along the entire route from Italy to Belgium will be made available as from October 2018. Snam Rete Gas, FluxSwiss and Fluxys TENP have put in place a project coordina- tion to ensure technical alignment of the execution of the projects under the respon- sibility of the respective TSOs. As the permitting processes and the nature of the technical measures are signifi- cantly different along the route and for each concerned TSO, the projects coordina- tion will aim at achieving an aligned approach with regards to the timing of the com- missioning and hence the availability of the capacities along the routes. The following sections provide a description of the various projects composing the South-North Corridor, building upon the appreciated Interconnection Point approach already adopted in the first GRIP edition. The Snam Rete Gas project to support flows to the North West Italian market and to create exit flow towards Passo Gries Interconnection Point can be divided into two phases: \\ The three-year period 2014–2016 is expected to see the finalization of the first phase of the project to support to the North West market and bidirectional cross-border flows, which will also allow the creation of an initial availability of flows for export from January 2016. The completion of this phase will ensure exports of 5MSm³/d (around 54GWh/d) at Passo Gries IP (from Italy to Switzer- land), and up to 18 MSm³/d (around 191GWh/d) at Tarvisio IP (from Italy to Austria). \\ The second phase, continues on from the first phase and integrates the expan- sions to facilitate an increase in export capacity by 2018. The capacity at the exit point of Passo Gries will increase to up to 40 MSm³/d (around 429GWh/d), or up to 22MSm³/d (around 238GWh/d) with a simultaneous exit flow at the Tarvisio exit point of up to 18MSm³/d (around 191GWh/d). 6.3.1 IN ITALY: SUPPORT FOR THE NORTH WEST MARKET AND BIDIRECTIONAL CROSS-BORDER FLOWS
