ENTSOG South-North Corridor GRIP 2017 - Main Report

Figure 2.5 illustrates the geographical distribution of the pipeline projects within the South-North Corridor in terms of number and length (expressed in km). It shows that the greatest extension of the transmission network is expected in Italy (almost 50% of the total length), while Germany and France equally share the remaining half of the new pipelines length. In Belgium and Switzerland, the planned transmission net- work projects don’t entail the installation of new pipelines.
