Table 5: Current storage discounts applied by European TSOs at regular storages

LNG facilities and infrastructure ending isolation of MSs Discounts may also apply to LNG entry points to increase security of supply. The TAR NC is silent as to the appropriate level of such discounts. Discounts may also apply to entry-points-from/exit-points-to infrastructure ending the isolation of MSs, if such discounts increase security of supply. The TAR NC is similarly silent as to the appropriate level of such discounts. Such discounts would enable MSs to avoid a situation where they would be fully dependent on one existing infrastructure or supply source. For example, such discounts may be applied to the entry tariff at a new IP connecting the ‘isolated’ country to a second source. Therefore, increasing security of supply justifies such discounts.
