Indicative investment programme for 2010-2019: €2.1 billion

Key elements in the indicative investment programme for the period 2010-2019

Fluxys’ indicative investment programme 2010-2019 currently amounts to a little over €2 billion. The group has planned expenditure of €1.7 billion for the period 2010-2015 alone, i.e. the equivalent of 80% of its investment programme. The programme also has sufficient in-built flexibility to be able to react rapidly to changes on an uncertain market and thus to avoid unnecessary investment.

The indicative investment programme contains the following key elements:

  • Maintaining the security, integrity and reliability of the infrastructure.
  • Opening up the grid to as many sources as possible to ensure maximum diversification, thus contributing to security of supply.
  • Making new capacity available to cover the expected growth in demand, primarily in the energy sector, for transmission capacity in Belgium.
  • Strengthening the role of the Fluxys grid as a crossroads for international natural gas flows in North-Western Europe by making additional border-to-border capacity as agreed with grid users via long-term contracts.
  • Moving towards a virtual marketplace for the Belgian market via a uniform entry/exit model.
  • Increasing capacity and availability at the Loenhout underground natural gas storage facility.
  • Systematically reducing the environmental impact of the company’s activities.

 

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.
