Fluxys major investment projects

New capacity on north/south axis

Market consultation in 2007

In order to assess specifically the need for additional north-south capacity in Belgium, Fluxys launched a market consultation with adjacent system operators in April 2007. Several system users subsequently booked new capacity from Zeebrugge, ‘s-Gravenvoeren (Belgian-Dutch border) or Eynatten (Belgian-German border) to Blaregnies (French-Belgian border). In the meantime, some system users have revised their capacity towards France downward. Fluxys subsequently also downsized the initial north-south project to avoid overinvestment.

European support

In relation to its recovery plan (European Economic Recovery Plan), the European Commission aims to increase the number of investments and to modernise the infrastructure. The Commission provides €2.3 billion for trans-European projects such as LNG projects and the shoring up of interconnections between the grids. Therefore the project was awarded €67 million EEPR funding by the European Commission.

Tips for using search operators

Use "quotation marks" to search for a series of words or a phrase in a specific order.

Boolean operators

You can find a group of words or a phrase by using the link words AND, OR and NOT:
known as Boolean operators, these words are used to combine terms in the search field.

  • AND: All the search terms must be included in the publication. Typing in Apple AND Pear will return publications containing both the word Apple and the word Pear.

     

  • OR :  At least one of the search terms must be included in the publication. Typing in Apple OR Pear will return publications containing either the word Apple or the word Pear or both.

     

  • NOT: The term preceded by NOT must not be included in the publication. Typing in Apple NOT Pear will return publications containing the word Apple but not the word Pear.
