Fluxys updates annually its ten-year indicative investment program. These actualizations take into account the evolution of the needs for supply of natural gas, requests for new connections and the new needs of the grid users as a result of market consultations.
In order to actualize the investment programme, Fluxys performs simulations on the existing configuration of its grid, based on the data for the expected development as a result of the request for transmission capacity and the estimated evolution of capacities. Different scenarios are investigated taking into account different possible configuration of gas flow, peak consumption and the maximum grid imbalance.
These grid simulations on a largely bi-directional and highly interconnected grid remain a continuous and complex exercise. Based on these transmission grid simulations, the firmness of the capacity of the grid users and end-users can be guaranteed.
