Delay Explanation
The project has been postponed from 2021 to 2022, pending on one hand confirmation of market and on the other hand a solution to
odorization issues
Specific Criteria Fulfilled Comments
Creating a reverse flow would contribute to security of supply by enabling gas flow from France to Germany and connecting LNG terminals in
France and Iberia to Germany and Central Eastern Europe markets. It will also respond to the need of more H-Gas sources in Germany in order
to replace L-gas which will be strongly declining from 2016. In addition, it would improve market integration between French PEG and German
NCG.
