ENTSOG Gas Regional Investment Plan (GRIP) 2017 - 2026 / Southern Corridor / Main Report

In the 2030 cases, we see the higher flows through the TAP pipeline, since neither the East-Med nor the Poseidon pipelines are considered in the Low infrastructure level. We also see the higher flows to the LNG terminals of Italy and Greece. Comparing the reference case with the three max cases (RU, AZ, LNG) we see that the sources becoming relatively cheaper bring additional flows to Europe, in particular: \\ In the case of RU max we have the higher reduction of the LNG flow, to almost zero in Greece and by almost 50% in Italy as well as an important increase of the westward flows from UA in Central Europe and up to Italy, and in the Balkan route up to Greece. \\ In the case of AZ max, we mainly see an increase of the flow to Italy via TAP. \\ In the case of LNG max, we see an important increase (by almost four times) of the LNG received by Greece and by 30% of the LNG received by Italy. As in the previous cases we also see a small decrease of the flows from UA westwards, via SK.
