3 1. Introduction In the context of market opening, interconnections are aimed at: Increasing security of supply Fostering competition For years, TSO have worked together in order to promote interconnection capacity between France and Spain. In February 2007, 1st TSO report Interconnection capacity development by 2010/11 at Biriatou and Larrau 2nd SG meeting conclusion: Stakeholders view = positive perception of capacity proposed in 1st report, but not sufficient Necessity to offer capacity as soon as possible This presentation shows Further capacity development projects beyond Biriatou and Larrau Next steps proposal regarding the process to be followed in order to develop interconnection capacities

The MidCat project: general design Spain Category A (approved) and already under Administrative Procedure. 165 km of 36’’ Martorell – Figueras Category B (conditional approval) 30 km of 36’’ Figueras – SP/FR border 1 CS 25 MW near Martorell France GRTgaz (under study) 190 km of 42’’ to 48’’ Artère du Rhône 1 CS 20 MW at Etrez Additional CS ~10 MW at St Martin TIGF (under study) 120 km of 36’’ SP/FR border – Barbaira Additional CS ~10 MW at Barbaira

The MidCat project: development stages Phase 1 (tentative first gas date : 2013/2015) (*) : Assuming all infrastructure included in the mandatory planning review 2005/11 is in operation, especially reinforcements in “Levante” axis and “Valle del Ebro” axis Phase 2 Based on the proposed network design, a phase 2 for the project could provide additional capacity. This would require intermediate compression stations (or reinforcement of existing stations), as well as debottlenecking North of Artère du Rhône.

France to Spain direction The MidCat project provides a potential of 180 (winter) to 200 (summer) GWh/d in the first phase. A second phase can increase the capacity.

French TSOs aim to launch an open-season (information phase) by year end 2007. Larrau + Biriatou (MidCat probably at a later stage) French TSOs consider that before launching any open-season, a preparatory working group must be set up, in which Spanish and French regulatory authorities will get involved together with TSOs. Improve commercialisation conditions on existing interconnections Ensure consistency of TPA models and tariff structures Ensure consistency of booking procedures and capacity allocation The positive outcome of an open season and investment decisions in France will trigger corresponding investment decisions approved under “Category B” in Spain.
