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

5.1 Interconnection Point

capacities offered (technical capacity), booked and used In this paragraph the capacities of all Region’s IPs are presented in a graphical form making easier the comparison of the technical capacity of the IP, the part booked and the part actually used during the two-year period from April 2014 to March 2016, both on a daily basis and on an average per month one. In some cases the data, concerning technical capacity, published by TSOs on either side of the IPs are not identical. In such cases the lesser rule was applied. The interconnection points, import points and LNG entry points are presented in this chapter in the same order as in the ENTSOG capacity map   1) . This section aims at providing an analysis of possible congestion at Regional IPs evaluating: \\ Flows versus technical capacity (physical congestion considerations); \\ Booked versus technical capacity (contractual congestion considerations) Although several of the IPs offer reverse flow capacity, the graphs for both directions are only presented in the case of significant reverse flows.
