At the Interconnection point Exit Tarvisio/Entry Arnoldstein, physical reverse flow is possible. In particular Trans Austria Gasleitung GmbH is offering as firm capacity around 417GWh/d at the Austrian entry side and Snam Rete Gas is making available around 194 GWh/d at the Italian exit side   2) . Nevertheless, under the current prevailing hub prices conditions, the activation of these flows is likely to be triggered more by security of supply situations than by commercial reasons.

 2) For years 2016 and 2017 Snam Rete Gas capacity is offered as “Interruptible transportation capacity available with a physical inlet flow or a physical flow equal to zero at the entry point of Passo Gries”. Starting from 2018 onward Snam Rete Gas capacity will be offered as firm but competing with Passo Gries capacity (source: Snam Rete Gas Ten-Year Network Development Plan 2016 – 2025).
