2. Perspectives of Gas Supply for Europe (EU-27)

*) i.e., Egypt, Qatar, Nigeria

Basis for EU imports: Contracted quantities of gas, expected extensions of contracts and additional quantities for EU-market

Import dependency of Europe remains;

tendency: increasing

Interdependencies between previous

regional submarkets all over the world

will further increase

Competition regarding resources on the

international markets will grow

Number of important producers outside

EU will remain limited and their position

will stay strong

3. Pipeline Gas imports are actually transited via 3 Main Corridors to the European Market; 4th Corridor is needed

from Russia

from the North Sea (Norway, UK)

from North Africa (Algeria / Libya)

from Central Asia / Middle East

TAP is a commercially & technically viable gas pipeline project linking Europe to new gas sources

TAP contributes to increased security of energy supply in Europe

TAP meets the needs of producers, shippers and buyers

3. Connecting Europe with new gas reserves via TAP

Gas reserves in trillion

3. TAP - the shortest and most cost effective way to Europe

TAP is a cost effective option (both CAPEX and OPEX)

Uses existing infrastructure and therefore can flexibly developed in a step by step approval

SD II gas to fill TAP’s initial capacity of 10 bcm per year

No other volumes required for the pipeline at this stage

4. The Nord Stream Project

Nord Stream

Two parallel offshore pipelines of 1,224 km (transport capacity 55 bcm per year)

A direct and fixed link between Russia’s vast proven gas reserves and the European Union

An additional route complementing Existing network and other planned pipelines

Infrastructure project ‘of European interest’ within the framework of the EU’s TEN-E guidelines

5. E.ON welcomes and endorses the approaches expressed by the

EU COM on Energy Infrastructure Priorities for 2020

Improving internal market in Europe

regarding cross-border interconnec-

tions, integration of isolated regions

and competitiveness

2020 goals and reduction of

greenhouse gas emissions until 2050

can only be achieved with sufficient

and adequate grid infrastructure

Security of energy supply is a key

element of European Energy policy

leading to investment obligations in

infrastructure

Completely new infrastructure

Financing

The identification and development of important infrastructure

priority areas, especially concerning new import routes for gas should

be a joint project of energy companies, Member States and the EU COM.

The selection of projects that are to receive preferential treatment

regarding facilitated processes should involve a dynamic selection

procedure based on transparent criteria and markets’ requirements.

EU COM could potentially facilitate the sharing of best practice

between Member States at national and local level and help to ensure a

framework for co-operation between the relevant authorities.

Current capital market-based system for financing grid investments

should be kept. Existing national regulatory frameworks have to be

adapted to allow an appropriate return on investment.

21

5. Transportation tariffs have to provide security for investors

taking over risks for major infrastructure investments

Project joint ventures of non-TSO project sponsors are

an efficient concept for the realization of multinational

import projects parallel to TSO-driven projects

High investment-costs are necessary for the

implementation of major transmission systems

Return on capital employed need to correspond with

investor objectives

Project risks need to be considered adequately

Long-term transportation contracts are backbone for

investments

For transmission systems with strong transit character an

exemption from regulation is important, i.e. tarification

will be defined by investors

E.ON’ s requirements for infrastructure projects
