  1. South Gas Regional InitiativeOpen Season France-SpainValidation of the results Madrid, 27 October 2009

  2. Test to validate capacity allocation • As required at the 8th SG meeting of of 27th April in Paris, a test to validate capacity allocation in France has been published in the information memorandum for the open season 2013 • This test has been presented at the 9th Stakeholders meeting of 15th July in Madrid and some clarifications were brought • No further comments were raised regarding this test • The test is related to investment validation on the French side of the interconnection between Spain and France

  3. Principles and priority of the test • General principle: • If less than 50% of the marketed capacity is allocated, then the capacity allocation will be considered as non valid and no capacity booking contracts will be signed • If more than 90% of the marketed capacity is allocated, then the capacity allocation will be considered as valid and the relevant contracts will be signed • If the capacity allocated lies between 50 and 90%, then the continuation on whether to continue the open season will be discussed • Priority given to Larrau: • Validation of Larrau • Then allocation up to the maximum capacity of Larrau • Remaining quantity taken into consideration to validate or not Biriatou • Validation of Biriatou

  4. Figures of the test

  5. Result of the test • The demanded quantity amounts to 249 GWh/j

  6. Application of the test • According to the test: • Larrau is validated but not Biriatou • CRE proposes to validate the results of the open season accordingly, i.e. to allocate capacity at Larrau but not at Biriatou

  7. Possible next steps • CRE considers that the strong demand in the direction France to Spain has to be taken into account: • It could be envisaged to re-offer the capacity at Irun/Biriatou during the binding phase of the open season 2015, together with the capacity of MidCat • In this perspective, TSOs could realise some complementary studies, in order to adjust, if necessary, the physical investments needed, the investment costs and the date of availibility of capacity
