Investment in gas infrastructures is a key issue in the development of an open market and to guarantee security of supply.  Download and print

Development of interconnection capacity depends on the needs expressed by the market and the development of upstream infrastructures. Consultation of the market and cooperation with adjacent operators are essential in order to define the capacity and, so consequently, the investments required. These investments have to take into account the appropriate development of our internal network in order to transport the new gas resources to the consumers or to adjacent markets.

This approach is crucial to go to the needed commitment of all interested parties.

This page gathers GRTgaz’s information on investments and Open Season related to its network in order to provide additional transparency.
