ENTSOG GRIP South - Main Report

The demand for natural gas canbe brokendown into two distinct sectors: \\ The conventional sector includes demand for Industry, Commercial, Residential andCogeneration (CHP); \\ Gas for power generation: includes natural gas demand for power generation. In Portugal and in Spain this sector comprises combined cycle gas turbines (CCGT) and in France also combustion turbines (TAC). These two sectors have specific characteristics. The conventional sector is, globally, much more linked to climatic conditions (for residential and commercial sector) while demand in the power sector is generally less linked to climate. In the South Region, the conventional sector (Residential+Commercial+Industrial) represented 87% of the total gas demand in 2012. This breakdown of the demand varies from one country to another (Figure 3.5).
