ENTSOG Southern Corridor (SC) Gas Regional Investment Plan (GRIP) 2014-2023 / Main Report
During the three last years, the gas demand in the SC Region has stopped increasing and marked a slight decrease despite the fact that some of the markets are still im- mature and therefore have a potential for increase. This was the combined effect of: \\ the economic crisis in Europe, \\ the reduction in the power generation sector, due to the switch from gas to coal, to the decrease in electricity demand and to the progression of renewables in the power generation sector.

Figure 4.6: Evolution of gas supply by source
The split among the various sources of supply did not change substantially, as show the Figures 4.6 and 4.7. There was an increase of the Russian gas, a decrease of the Algerian (pipeline) gas, a slight increase of the Norwegian and Dutch gas and a decrease of LNG. The reasons for the decrease of LNG are described in chapter 4.3. Its reduction trend has been confirmed and even made more important in 2013 as shown in Figure 4.8.
