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.
