Figure 2.4: Temporal distribution of infrastructure the projects per class (LNG, storages, pipelines) and status (FID, advanced non-FID and less-advanced non-FID) in the South-North Corridor Region (Source: ENTSOG data collection for TYNDP 2017 based on information submitted by TSOs and other project promoters)

Considering the expected commissioning date for each project, Figure 2.4 shows that 2018 will be the year in which the highest number of projects is foreseen to go into operation (corresponding to the year of commissioning of the reverse flow project between Italy, Switzerland, France and Germany). The expected commis- sioning dates for LNG terminals or expansion projects range from 2019 to 2022, while storage facilities are declared to become operational within a broader time span (2016– 2026). Transmission projects are positioned in an intermediate time horizon, with FID and more advanced projects obviously being closer to commis- sioning.
