3.3.2 PEAK DEMAND

The peak demand represents one of the most stressful situations to be faced by the gas infrastructure (1-in-20 year situation for Iberian Peninsula and 1-in-50 year sit- uation for France). It corresponds to the maximum level of gas demand used for the design of the network in each country to capture maximum transported energy and ensure consistency with national regulatory frameworks.
