In line with Article 12 of the European Regulation EC/715/2009, TSOs will now publish a Gas Regional Investment Plan every two years. To comply with this obligation Gas Transmission System Operators from Central & Eastern Europe (CEE GRIP TSOs) developed their first Gas Regional Investment Plan, wherein Bulgartransgaz EAD was strongly involved in its capacity as Bulgarian TSO.
The aim of this Plan is to show a regional gas infrastructure outlook, consistent with the Community-wide Ten-Year Network Development Plan, assessing and identifying potential future infrastructure investments. It also endeavours to capture the wider gas market dynamics by looking at aspects such as supply scenarios, market integration and especially Security of Supply (N-1) on a Regional level.
The CEE GRIP 2012-2021 can be regarded as a pilot version of this GRIP. Bulgartransgaz EAD would like to warmly encourage all interested stakeholders to participate in the public consultation that is going to be held in February 2012 and at the dedicated workshop scheduled for the 7th March 2012 in Prague. The CEE GRIP TSOs will appreciate all feedback, remarks, opinions and comments that will help to further improve following editions of CEE GRIP, as well as to adjust it both to market needs and challenges the CEE region is going to face in the future. Remarks and registration requests for the workshop (7th March 2012 in Prague) should be sent by 19th February 2012 to the following email address: ceegrip@net4gas.cz.
