Temporal distribution of infrastructure the projects per class (LNG, storages,
pipelines) and status (FID, advanced non-FID and less-advanced non-FID) in the
South-North Corridor Region (Source: ENTSOG data collection for TYNDP 2017 based
on information submitted by TSOs and other project promoters)
Considering the expected commissioning date for each project, Figure 2.4 shows
that 2018 will be the year in which the highest number of projects is foreseen to go
into operation (corresponding to the year of commissioning of the reverse flow
project between Italy, Switzerland, France and Germany). The expected commis-
sioning dates for LNG terminals or expansion projects range from 2019 to 2022,
while storage facilities are declared to become operational within a broader time
span (2016– 2026). Transmission projects are positioned in an intermediate time
horizon, with FID and more advanced projects obviously being closer to commis-
sioning.
