Infrastructures


The Infrastructures business line manages the most important networks and capacities in Europe: LNG terminals, storage sites, transmission and distribution networks. It has 17,500 employees and had revenues of €5.9 billion in 2010 (intragroup consolidation).

 

 

The Infrastructures business line in figures:  
  • No. 1 gas transmission network in Europe,
  • No. 1 natural gas distribution network in Europe,
  • No. 2 natural gas storage capacity in Europe,
  • No. 2 liquefied natural gas (LNG) receiving and regasification capacity in Europe.
 
 

LNG Terminals

 

The Infrastructures business line manages the activity of the LNG Terminals, which receive the liquefied natural gas transported by ship to regasify it and inject it into the networks. In France, Elengy, a wholly owned subsidiary of GDF SUEZ, manages the terminals of Fos-Tonkin, Montoir-de-Bretagne and Fos-Cavaou.

 

 

 

Storage

 

With 13 underground storage facilities in France and capacities in the United Kingdom, Germany, Romania, Slovakia, and the Czech Republic, GDF SUEZ has the third-largest gas-storage capacity in Europe. Storengy, a wholly owned subsidiary of GDF SUEZ, manages these activities in France and internationally. Storengy is also active with two storage facilities in Quebec through an equity interest in Intragaz and in Ireland with a saline cave storage project in Larne.

 

 

 

Transmission

 

In France, GRTgaz, a wholly owned subsidiary of GDF SUEZ, operates and markets one of the largest networks in Europe. The Infrastructures business line is also present in Germany through Megal (44% owned subsidiary) and Austria through BOG (34% owned subsidiary) and in Slovakia through Eustream.

 

 

 

 

Distribution

 

In France, GrDF, a wholly owned subsidiary of GDF SUEZ and No. 1 in distribution in Europe, manages a network of 190,202 km. The Group also owns shares in nearly 100,000 km of network of other European operators.

 

 

 

 

 

As Europe’s leader in natural gas infrastructures, with solid and recurrent results, the Infrastructures business line must accommodate the new deal in the natural gas market by facing changes and major challenges while ensuring the security of supplies of European consumers. For that, the Group plans to invest €1.5 to €2 billion per year for 10 years.
