Regulation (EU) 2017/1938 of the European Parliament and of the CouncilShow full title

1. Description of the system

1.1. Provide a brief consolidated description of the regional gas system for each risk group(1) the Member State participates in, covering:

(a)

the main gas consumption figures(2): annual final gas consumption (bcm and MWh) and breakdown per type of customers(3), peak demand (total and breakdown per category of consumer in mcm/d);

(b)

a description of the functioning of the gas system(s) in the relevant risk groups: main flows (entry/exit/transit), entry/exit point's infrastructure capacity to and out of the risk groups' region(s) and per Member State, including utilisation rate, LNG facilities (maximal daily capacity, utilisation rate and access regime), etc.;

(c)

a breakdown, to the extent possible, of percentage gas import sources per country of origin(4);

(d)

a description of the role of storage facilities relevant for the risk group, including cross-border access:

(i)

the storage capacity (total and working gas) compared to heating season demand;

(ii)

the maximal daily withdrawal capacity at different filling levels (ideally with full storages and end-of-season levels);

(e)

a description of the role of domestic production in the risk group(s):

(i)

the volume of production with regard to the annual final gas consumption;

(ii)

the maximal daily production capacity and description of how it can cover maximum daily consumption;

(f)

a description of the role of gas in the electricity production (e.g. importance, role as a back-up for renewables), including gas-fired generating capacity (total (MWe) and as percentage of the total generating capacity) and cogeneration (total (MWe) and as percentage of the total generating capacity).

1.2. Provide a brief description of the gas system of the Member State, covering:

(a)

the main gas consumption figures: annual final gas consumption (bcm) and breakdown by type of customers, peak demand (mcm/d);

(b)

a description of the functioning of the gas system at national level, including infrastructure (to the extent not covered by point 1.1(b)). If applicable, include L-gas system;

(c)

the identification of the key infrastructure relevant for the security of gas supply;

(d)

a breakdown, to the extent possible, at national level of gas import sources per country of origin;

(e)

a description of the role of storage and include:

(i)

the storage capacity (total and working) compared to heating season demand;

(ii)

the maximal daily withdrawal capacity at different filling levels (ideally with full storages and end-of-season levels);

(f)

a description of the role of domestic production and include:

(i)

the volume of production with regard to the annual final gas consumption;

(ii)

the maximal daily production capacity;

(g)

a description of the role of gas in the electricity production (e.g. importance, role as a back-up for renewables), including gas-fired generating capacity (total (MWe) and as percentage of the total generating capacity) and cogeneration (total (MWe) and as percentage of the total generating capacity).

(1)

For the sake of simplicity, present the information at the highest level of the risk groups if possible and merge details as necessary.

(2)

For the first assessment, include data from the last two years. For updates, include data from the last four years.

(3)

Including industrial customers, electricity generation, district heating, residential and services and other (specify the type of customers included here). Indicate as well the volume of consumption of protected customers.

(4)

Describe the methodology applied.
