GRIP CEE 2017 / Main Report

4.1 General Note

The countries in the CEE region are exposed to gas supply disruptions, in the current supply situation primarily from the eastern direction. Therefore, the participating TSOs decided to prepare the CEE GRIP Regional N-1 Analysis in the CEE GRIP. The assessment covers the gas supply disruption cases through Ukraine and Belarus. The assessment is based on the capacities at interconnection points (IP) and the re- sulting residual capacities for neighbouring countries through supply corridors with- in the CEE region. The supply corridors and the results for each country in the ana- lysed CEE region are described below. The analysis is calculated for a ten-year period until 2026. Special focus is put on the winter periods in the years 2017/2018, 2020/2021, 2025/2026 and the summer periods in the years 2017, 2020, 2025. If not stated otherwise, all input data for the analysis are in line with the TYNDP 2017. The capacity data reflects currently existing infrastructure and FID and non-FID pro- jects planned to be commissioned before 2025.

4.2 Supply Corridors

The CEE region analysed consists of nine countries: Austria, Bulgaria, Croatia, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Romania, Slovakia and Slovenia. Germany is not part of this analysis because not all German TSOs are involved in the CEE GRIP. The following paragraphs comprise a brief description of supply corridors for each country from the analysed region; only interconnection points which are relevant to the analysis are described.
