ENTSOG MAPS
In 2014, ENTSOG continued publication of the popular
Transmission Capacity Map 2014 and System Development
Map 2013, performing the latter in collaboration with GIE.
Both maps benefited from ENTSOG commitment to continu-
ously improving on deliverables. The
Transmission Capacity
Map
provides an overview of Europe’s main high-pressure
transmission lines with information on the technical capaci-
ties at cross-border interconnection points. The 2014 edition
was printed in June. The
System Development Map
pro-
duced in collaboration with Gas Infrastructure Europe focus-
es on the supply and demand trend of the previous year. It
also provides an overview of the existing gas infrastructure
and an outlook for its development. The 2014 edition – cover-
ing the year 2013 – was published in November.
The current edition of maps can be ordered online:

INVESTMENT PLANS
Regional cooperation between TSOs is essential in the gas
industry since most of the consumed gas travels across
Europe from non-EU supply sources. For this purpose, Gas
Regional Investment Plans (GRIPs) are developed by mem-
ber TSOs under the umbrella of ENTSOG. These help to
coordinate activities between neighbouring TSOs and
provide financial support for further infrastructural develop-
ments wherever necessary. GRIPs serve as a link between
TYNDP and national plans.
Publication of the second edition of the GRIP reports com-
menced in November 2013 with the North-Western region
and was completed in August 2014 with the South-North cor-
ridor. During this process, ENTSOG supported TSOs through
its modelling expertise. Compared to the first edition, each re-
gion has contributed with new content based on the feedback
received. Regional cooperation within ENTSOG also means
that reports further converged in terms of content and layout.
