Storage connections In the FID-case, almost all of the storage connections are used to withdraw at full load, meaning without remaining flexibility. In the FID scenarios, Austria has as little remaining flexibility as 5% left in its storage connection in 2014 and 25.8% towards Germany in 2018. The Czech Republic has remaining flexibility of 2.4% left in 2018. Except for Germany, with remaining flexibility of more than 20% in the entire period, the connection in Croatia in 2014 shows a value >20%. Also in the non-FID case, the situation is quite tense. Here, German storage connections as well as the connection of Slovakian Storages towards Austria have more than 20% flexibility left in 2018 as well as 2023. The storage connection of Croatia is above 20% in 2018, decreasing to 13.8% in 2023. The remaining flexibility of Austrian and Bulgarian storage connections is >20% in 2023. All other UGS connections are operating on full load.
