ENTSOG TYNDP 2017 - Main Report

4.5 Analysis of project submission

The full detail of projects submitted for inclusion in the TYNDP 2017 can be found in Annex A of this Report. This section of the report provides a general overview of the submitted projects.

4.5.1 TYPE OF INFRASTRUCTURES

Projects are classified according to infrastructure categories as defined in Reg. 347/2013 Annex II into the three following: \\ TRA Transmission, incl. Compressor Stations \\ LNG LNG Terminal \\ UGS Storage Facility

4.5.2. OVERVIEW OF THE PROJECTS SUBMITTED TO TYNDP 2017 Overall, 234 projects have been submitted to the TYNDP 2017. Some projects have been commissioned and new ones have appeared. Others have been postponed or not resubmitted. This high level of projects has to be understood in the light of the following considerations. \\ Firstly: If a project that has a number of separate parts, developed by more than one promoter, TYNDP considers this to be as many projects as there are promoters. \\ Secondly: For projects developed in different phases, each phase can be considered as an individual project and the whole project as multiple projects. \\ Thirdly: Some promoters have submitted individual facilities as separate projects (e. g. compressor station and pipe as individual project submissions) whereas others have joined together a number of schemes in one project (e. g. compressor station and pipe as a combined project submission). Figure 4.2 provides the overview on those projects, compared to TYNDP 2015.

From the figure the following conclusions can be drawn:

\\ thanks to the completion of 20 projects the European infrastructure has been reinforced in the last two years \\ the number of projects as of TYNDP 2015 were reduced for TYNDP 2017 by first of all completion but also by cancelation or not resubmissions  1) .

 1) However some projects have not been re-submitted under their TYNDP 2015 project code – therefore considered as not resubmitted - but under a new project code – therefore counted as new projects.
