The outcome relates to the market area transmission of gas volumes from Russia to
GASPOOL and further from GASPOOL to the Netherlands. The enquired capacities
at the border from Russia to GASPOOL and from GASPOOL to the Netherlands are
higher than the current available technical capacities. The TSOs agreed to carry out
a technical study to identify further developments on the borders of the corresponding
market areas.

The following projects are partly considered in the “More Capacity” market survey.
8.3.7.1 “EUGAL” Project
Additional capacity needs were identified as a result of the market survey. To ensure
the transport of the requested new gas volumes and to further improve the security
of supply for the market areas of Poland, the Czech Republic, GASPOOL and NCG,
the “EUGAL” (European Gas Pipeline Link) project (TRA-N-763) has been developed
by GASCADE Gastransport GmbH.

8.3.7.2 “Expansion NEL” Project
Based on the supply scenario Q.2 of the
Draft German Network Development Plan
2016
a new compressor station in the south of Hamburg for the import of gas
volumes from Russia via Nord Stream to Germany (GASPOOL) is required. The
project “Expansion NEL” (TRA-N-807), developed by Gasunie Deutschland, NEL
Gastransport and Fluxys Deutschland is a prerequisite for the transport of new
capacities into the market area to cover the growing German demand for high
calorific gas, caused among others by the necessity of the conversion from L-gas to
H-gas. The project is part of “More Capacity”, which includes e.g. the extension of
the receiving terminal Greifswald.
8.3.7.3 Transport of Gas Volumes to the Netherlands
The project “Transport of gas volumes to the Netherlands” (TRA-N-808) was
developed by Gasunie Deutschland to cover the demand at the German-Dutch
border as the result of the non-binding market survey “More Capacity”. The project
is including the evacuation of gas volumes from Russia via Nord Stream and
Germany to the Netherlands.
8.3.7.4 Upgrade IP Deutschneudorf and Lasów
Linked to the “More Capacity” project, the German TSO ONTRAS intends to in-
crease its cross-border capacities at the Deutschneudorf and Lasów interconnection
points. These two capacity extension projects aim to support the exchange of gas
between the Czech Republic and Germany as well as Poland and Germany. A final
investment decision has not been taken yet.
