Gas Regional Investment Plans (GRIPs)

The requirement to promote regional cooperation is enshrined in EU Directive 2009/73/EC and further detailed by EU Gas Regulation (EC) 715/2009, which requires European TSOs to publish Gas Regional Investment Plans (GRIPs) on a biennial basis.

Based on an analysis of transmission system interconnections and operation, as well as infrastructure development needs, the ENTSOG TSOs agreed on six regional groupings, in some cases overlapping, to develop the first GRIPS.

Six Regional Groupings:

» GRIP North-West

» GRIP South

» GRIP Central Eastern Europe (CEE)

» GRIP Baltic Energy Market Interconnection Plan (BEMIP)

» GRIP Southern Corridor

» GRIP South-North Corridor
