2.3 Infrastructure Projects
in the Region
On the basis of the data collected by ENTSOG from
April to May 2016 for TYNDP 2017 on infrastructure
projects in Europe, the countries of the South-North
Corridor Region are expected to host 54 investment
projects in the next two decades, 23.1% of the total
number of projects forecast in the whole EU (234).
Looking at the breakdown per country and asset type shown in Figure 2.2, it is
possible to observe how Germany is the country with the higher number of projects
(22), followed by Italy (16) and France (12). A smaller number of projects is foreseen
also in Belgium (3) and Switzerland (1), while no initiatives are currently planned in
Luxembourg. Storage infrastructural development is foreseen only in Italy, while
LNG projects are equally shared between Belgium, France and Italy.

Using the terminology of ENTSOG TYNDP, the projects can be further divided into
three different categories related to their development status:
\\
“FID projects” – Final Investment Decision taken;
\\
“non-FID advanced projects” – in case 1) the project will be commissioned by
the 31st December 2022 at the latest and 2a) the permitting phase of the pro-
ject has started before the 1st April 2016 or 2b) FEED has started or the pro-
ject has been selected for receiving CEF grants for FEED before the 1st April
2016;
\\
“non-FID less-advanced projects” – non-FID projects, not fulfilling all condi-
tions for the “advanced projects” status.
