Ten Year Network Development Plan 2015
Table 4.2:
High daily and highest 14-day gas consumption
4.2.2 PEAK CONSUMPTIONS
4.2.2.1 Peak and 14-day peak
The day of highest consumption in the year is a key input of the network design
process and represents one of the most stressful situations to be covered by the gas
transmission system. The design and operation of a system is also challenged by the
availability of supply sources during periods of high consumption. On this basis,
ENTSOG has considered the highest 14-day demand period as significant for testing
the resilience needs of the system. The table below shows the highest daily
consumption, and the highest 14-days average consumption from the last five
winters at EU aggregated level.
