Indigenous production will continue to play a major role
but needs an enabling framework
• Access to resources
• Competitive fiscal and regulatory regime
• Streamlined permitting procedures
• Liberalised gas

Gas Storage as Flexibility Instrument
• Physical flexibility instruments compete with virtual ones
• Regulation should be market-driven
• Regulatory framework needs to attract investments
• Maintain level playing field in a competitive flexibility market

A Strategic Role for Gas Storage?
• Commercial flexibility services can deal with most disruption scenarios
• Public Service Obligations when deemed unavoidable for specific exposures
• Impact on commercial playing field should be minimal
• PSO holders purchase flexibility services on the open market
