ENTSOG Gas Regional Investment Plan South 2017 - Main Report

Foreword

The third edition of the South European Gas Regional Investment Plan (GRIP South) builds on the previous editions of the GRIP South, published in 2011 and 2014, and also complements the Ten-Year Network Develop- ment Plan (TYNDP) 2017 published by ENTSOG in December 2016. This GRIP South is the result of a close cooperation between the Transmission System Operators (TSOs) in the three countries of this European Region: Spain, Portugal and France. This fruitful cooperation between the five TSOs involved, Enagás, GRTgaz, Reganosa, REN, and TIGF, continues with projects for developing not only the interconnections between the different gas transmission systems, but also the robustness and flexibility of the existing infrastructures of the three gas systems. These projects, which are assessed in this document, intend to comply with the European gas target model. For this edition, the coordination of this report was facilitated by TIGF.
