GRIP CEE 2017 / Main Report
The analysis for the 2017 summer period resulted in the identification of a problem in Bulgaria. Due to the lack of gas in Bulgaria that would be caused by a gas supply disruption via Ukraine, there would be no gas for the underground storage facilities in Bulgaria during the summer. This situation could lead to a deepening of the problem identified during the winter period, because the underground storage facil- ities would be empty. This problem will be solved by the implementation of planned infrastructure projects in upcoming years. During the 2017 summer period, poten- tial problems in injecting gas into underground storage facilities in Hungary and Romania were also identified, but only if the disruption lasted more than 45 and 138 days, respectively. A potential problem was also identified in Austria (only if the disruption lasted more than 116 days), but this would be caused by the fact that IP Baumgarten is used in the AT>SK direction in the analysis. If it had been used in the other direction, Austria would have no problem. In the 2020 summer period, the potential problem of injecting gas into underground storage facilities was detected in Hungary, but only if the gas supply disruption through Ukraine lasted longer than 37 days. The commissioning of projects in subsequent years will respond to all identified problems.
