Transmission to Germany
Germany also needs to convert from L-gas to H-gas (approximately 30bcm/y). This
change in import needs is analysed extensively in the national Network Development
Plan drawn up by the German TSOs (NDP 2016). This plan comprises two supply
scenarios:
\\
Q.1: extra supply from the south/southeast
\\
Q.2: extra supply from the northeast (linked to the expansion of the Nord
Stream)
Both scenarios also include increased supplies from the west/southwest (LNG from
Belgium, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom and France).
Fluxys Belgium supports the vision of the German development plan and supports
the principle of capacity development at the Eynatten interconnection point on the
Belgian-German border as part of the “ZEELINK” project, which intends to lay a new
dual pipe in Germany on the border between Belgium and North Rhine-Westphalia.
The direct link with the Zeebrugge zone, which is itself directly connected to the new
Dunkirk terminal by the new Alveringem-Maldegem pipeline and with the Dutch net-
work via the Zelzate border station, can provide the German market with the re-
quired capacity and flexibility as well as access to diversified supply sources.
