Creos et GRTgaz ont initié en novembre 2010 une Open Season pour la création d'une capacité de transport de gaz additionnelle entre la France et le Luxembourg. Après analyse de l'intérêt manifesté par les expéditeurs durant la phase non-engageante, entre le 26 novembre 2010 et le 31 janvier 2011, Creos et GRTgaz ont conjointement décidé de lancer une phase engageante qui s’est déroulée du 1er mars au 10 mai 2013.

A la date limite de remise des offres, le joint allocation office n’a pas reçu de demande d'expéditeur. Ceci traduit que l’intérêt des expéditeurs n’est plus d’actualité. GRTgaz et Creos ne vont plus persévérer dans le cadre de cette Open Season.

L'Open Season France - Luxembourg est formellement clôturée à compter du 1er juillet 2013.

Information Notice concerning the Open Season France - Luxemburg

In order to diversify and secure the supply of natural gas to its customers, GRTgaz and Creos have launched, in November 2010, an Open Season for gas transmission capacity from France to Luxembourg to assess market interest in establishing such capacity. In view of the interest shown by suppliers during the non-binding phase of the Open Season, lasting from 26th November 2010 to 31th January 2011, Creos and GRTgaz jointly decided  to launch the binding phase of the Open Season, which ran from 1st March to 10th May 2013.

However, at the conclusion of the binding phase of the Open Season, no shipper application has been submitted to the Joint Allocation Office. This means that the interest of suppliers has disappeared in the meantime, and that GRTgaz and Creos shall not pursue any further action in the context of the Open Season. The Open Season procedure shall be formally closed as of 1st July 2013.
