ENTSOG GRIP SC 2017 - 2026 / Main Report

Southern Corridor GRIP 2017–2026 |

5.1 Interconnection Point

capacities offered (technical

capacity), booked and used

In this paragraph the capacities of all Region’s IPs are presented in a graphical form

making easier the comparison of the technical capacity of the IP, the part booked

and the part actually used during the two-year period from April 2014 to March

2016, both on a daily basis and on an average per month one. In some cases the

data, concerning technical capacity, published by TSOs on either side of the IPs are

not identical. In such cases the lesser rule was applied.

The interconnection points, import points and LNG entry points are presented in this

chapter in the same order as in the ENTSOG capacity map

This section aims at providing an analysis of possible congestion at Regional IPs

evaluating:

Flows versus technical capacity (physical congestion considerations);

Booked versus technical capacity (contractual congestion considerations)

Although several of the IPs offer reverse flow capacity, the graphs for both directions

are only presented in the case of significant reverse flows.
