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

C. LNG ENTRY POINTS Differently from the dynamics experienced at pipelines interconnection points, at LNG Entry Points gas flows are intrinsically more fluctuating, especially if the punctual, daily values are considered. More stable indications can be drawn from the analysis of monthly dynamics. Although the LNG imports are generally more volatile than the pipeline ones, and therefore the terminals may know periods of low utilisation, depending on the market conditions, the role of LNG terminals both, on one hand, for security of supply and peak shaving needs and, on the other hand, for the exploitation of possible commercial opportunities cannot be denied or based on the study of a limited time window. In this paragraph the technical capacity is meant to be the regasification capacity of the terminal which may be different from that of the downstream pipeline infrastructure.
