Including Union-wide simulation of prolonged Russian gas supply disruption scenarios.
As part of its obligation under Art. 8(3)(f) of Regulation (EC) 715/2009, ENTSOG has undertaken an assessment of the European gas network for the upcoming Winter (October 2022 to March 2023).
Additionally, as part of its obligation under Art. 7(1) of Regulation (EC) 2017/1938, ENTSOG has undertaken an assessment Union-wide simulation of gas supply and infrastructure disruption scenarios, including scenarios of a prolonged disruption of a single supply source.
The analysis investigates the possible evolution of supplies and UGS inventory along the season as well as the ability of the gas infrastructure to meet the demand, especially to face high demand situations.
ENTSOG has used a sensitivity analysis to check if the European gas system is able to handle the Winter under different demand conditions: Reference Winter and Cold Winter. Additionally, ENTSOG investigated the full Russian supply disruption case.
