Looking ahead
• Views on Fluxys’ arguments– Does this story raise your concerns about gas supplies from the
Zeebrugge area going forward?– What would be the implications for your business if flows from
Zeebrugge become less reliable?• Pre-Xmas Workshop on gas quality
– Would you be interested in attending a workshop facilitated by Ofgem regarding gas quality (18th November 9-12)?
– Topics that could potentially be covered at the workshop include: • Revisiting work to assess the magnitude of the risk• Discussing the appropriate investment response (previously proposed hybrid
approach, other possible infrastructure investment)• Considering barrier that hindered market interest of the previous tender
process and possible remedies.
