ENTSOG Gas Regional Investment Plan South 2017 - Main Report

MidCat (TRA-N-161 + TRA-N-727 + TRA-N-256)

In Spain, this project consists of the infrastructures already included in STEP (TRA- N-161), and further infrastructure in Enagás transmission network: a pipeline from Castelnou to Villar de Arnedo (214km), a pipeline from Tivissa to Arbós (114km), and increments of the power of the compressor stations of Zaragoza (+5MW) and Arbós (+5MW). The commissioning date of these additional infrastructures is 2022. In France, this project consists in the infrastructures already included in STEP (TIGF), plus Midi pipeline in TIGF and GRTgaz zones, and Eridan, Arc Lyonnais, Perche pipeline, CS Palleau, CS Saint-Avis and CS Saint-Martin-de-Crau in GRTgaz zone. This last set of infrastructures is considered as French network reinforcement, and therefore is required for removing market tools (see page on merger of zones in France) and increase capacity in the South (either from Spain or from LNG termi- nals in Fos – TRA-N-269). The commissioning date of these projects is between 2022 and 2024, considering that the artère du Midi project is less advanced. MidCat project creates bidirectional capacity: 230GWh/d from Spain to France and 160GWh/d from France to Spain.
