  1. Update on GTE Reverse Flow Study Vaclav Vocilka GIE Vice Executive Secretary Stakeholder Group Meeting GRI SSE, Gdynia 26 June 2009

  2. GTE+ Reverse Flow Study • Task Force set up by GTE+ in February 2009 • Objectives • starting from the lessons learned during the crisis of January 2009, find possible investments in reverse flow • using the current gas infrastructure  "small" projects • … implementable on a short term (1-2 years) • … improving Security of Supply • … on a coordinated way across borders • initial focus : crisis of January 2009, later extended to Europe • additional elements to take into account • possible limitations of flows due to gas quality • European Energy Programme for Recovery • legal and regulatory context for cost recovery

  3. GTE+ Reverse Flow Study • Methodology • starting point : actual flows in January 2009 • design of a revised Winter Outlook 2009-2010 • with capability to simulate supply disruption scenarios •  support to assess possible solutions • coordination between TSOs to design optimal solutions across countries • projects proposed by the TSOs themselves  technical feasibility checked

  4. GTE+ Reverse Flow Study • Projects identified • revese flow of compression station or metering installations (border points)  allow existing infrastructure to be used in reverse flow • new interconnection capabilities  allow new flow patterns • connections of storage designed for local market to high transport grid  possibility to export storage • new / extensions of pipelines (longer term)  remove physical congestion in reverse flow, allow new sources of gas • Final report expected round 15 July • maps of Europe showing projects • detailed description of each project (about 50)

  5. Example – Central Europe Preliminary – Final report expected on 15 July 2009

  6. Lanzhot BTS Lanzhot CS Břeclav ExampleCzech Republic – Slovak border bidirectional measurement and transport, Lanžhot + CS Břeclav Preliminary – Final report expected on 15 July 2009

  7. GTE+ Reverse Flow Study • Cost recovery ? • in most cases envisaged, no interest from the market for reverse flow capacity •  need for an appropriate cost recovery mechanism • European Energy Programme for Recovery • allows 80 M€ for reverse flow projects • individual projects will be assessed  result by end 2009 • Broader question : How to recover costs for infrastructure needed for Security of Supply ? • discussions with ERGEG started • possible involvment of Member States ?
