ENTSOG PS-CBA demonstrates visible benefits for MidCat. A better market integration of the Iberian Peninsula will be traduced by a price
convergence between Spain and France. Regarding competition, with the MidCat project France will improve the possibility to take benefit
from a cheaper LNG price or Algerian gas. At European level, the MidCat project can be considered as a way to reduce the dependency from
Russian gas and therefore to improve the overall security of supply, as it reinforce the direct link between North Africa and Europe. This
project improves the CO2 emissions in several cases by making the gas cheaper than coal and replacing coal in specific zones.
