Situation transmission tariffs for gas storages
Meeting with DG ENER
4 June 2015
Storage less competitive in flexibility
market due to transmission tariffs
•
Gas storage competes with other sources of
flexibility
•
Member States should facilitate, not stifle this open
competition
•
Restrictions impose by high transmission tariffs make
gas storage uncompetitive with other sources of
flexibility
•
Transmission fees of – in extreme cases – more than
1 EUR/ MWh are almost prohibitive to storage use
•
Hub based flexibility services have no additional
transport fee to pay
