ICIS: German TSOs prepare for new Nord Stream natural gas volumes

Germany's natural gas transmission system operators (TSOs) have outlined significant demand for additional cross-border capacity with their neighbouring countries.

The companies attached a detailed overview of planned projects, when publishing updated gas demand scenarios for Germany on Friday.

According to the document, the TSOs currently plan extensions of shipping capacity at the Belgian, Danish, French, Dutch, Polish, and Swiss border - many in view of the expected new Russian gas volumes entering Germany from October, when the string of the 55 billion cubic metres (Gm³) Nord Stream pipeline will come on line.  MORE
