2.4 Projects of Common Interest
According to the TEN-E Regulation all PCI candidates
have to be included in the TYNDP, starting with this
edition.
Some projects were not in a position to provide the data necessary to be fully
assessed through a CBA following ENTSOG methodology. These projects are never-
theless listed within Annex A of this Report, to ensure that they fulfil the minimum
requirement of the TEN-E Regulation.
To build a bridge between two sequential PCI selection rounds, ENTSOG has intro-
duced the
PCI Infrastructure scenario
1)
. This additional scenario enables the
assessment of the cumulative effects of the previous PCIs including their interaction.
In line with the TEN-E Regulation ENTSOG has provided a common basis for the
Project-Specific CBA of each PCI candidate (see Annex F). This involves the
assessment of different development levels of the gas infrastructure based on the
FID and PCI status of the projects. TYNDP will be used by the Regional Groups as a
background when considering the Project Specific CBAs of the candidate projects.
2.5 Analysis of project
submission
The full detail of the 259 projects submitted for inclu-
sion in the TYNDP 2015 can be found in Annex A of this
Report, which also provides enhanced search and sort-
ing functionalities on all projects. This section of the
report provides a general overview of the submitted
projects.
Projects are classified according to the five types of infrastructures as follows:
\\
TRA
Transmission, incl. Compressor Stations
\\
LNG
LNG Terminal
\\
UGS
Storage Facility
\\
PRD
2)
Production Facility
\\
POW
3)
Interconnection with a gas-fired power plant
The code assigned to each project serves as a key for the different TYNDP editions
and the PCI selection process.
