ENTSOG GRIP South - Main Report

UGS and LNG Terminals providing short term flexibility the next ten year period The graphs below (Figure 6.7) include the results of the simulations done by ENTSOG for the TYNDP for a High daily demand (design case) under normal operational conditions (Reference). The amount of gas needed fromUGS and LNG Terminals as is considered in the methodology “uses of last resort supply” covers around60%of theHighdailydemand in theSouthRegion: 35%byUGSand25% by LNG Terminals Send-Out. This point indicates the important role of UGS and LNG Terminals for the South Region. However, each kind of facility plays a different role in each country: in France, the roleof theUGScovering theHighDailydemand issignificant, represent- ing around 50%, while in the Iberian Peninsula similar percentage is covered by LNG Terminals Send-Out used as last resort.

Figure 6.7: Amount of gas needed from the supply of last resort under Design-Case situation (UGS left and LNG Terminals right)

Considering the use from LNG Terminals named “last resort supply”, more than 75% of the High daily demand in the South Region could be covered by these facilities.
