ENTSOG South-North Corridor GRIP 2017 - Main Report
3.4.1.2 France
The PEG Nord hub (“Point d’Echange de Gaz”) is the largest of the two trading regions in France. The TRS hub (Trading Region South) was launched on 1 April 2015, and is the product of the merger between the PEG Sud and the TIGF trading points in the South of France. The TRS was established with the aim of increasing the liquidity and depth of the southern French market, and is one of the first cases of successful market integration between gas hubs. In 2018, the PEG Nord and TRS hubs will be merged into a unified trading zone for France. This will mark the final step in a multi-year effort overseen by the French national regulator CRE to simplify the transmission market in France via a combination of investments and market mechanisms.
