C. LNG ENTRY POINTS

Differently from the dynamics experienced at pipelines interconnection points, at LNG Entry Points gas flows are intrinsically more fluctuating, especially if the punctual, daily values are considered. More stable indications can be drawn from the analysis of monthly dynamics, which are in general showing a decrease in the usage of the regasification terminals, confirming the trend across Europe determined by the current LNG market condi- tions. Nevertheless, the role of LNG terminals both, on one hand, for security of supply and peak shaving needs and, on the other hand, for the exploitation of possible commer- cial opportunities cannot be denied or based on the study of a limited time window. In this paragraph the technical capacity is meant to be the regasification capacity of the terminal which may be different from that of the downstream pipeline infra- structure.
