The six articles written for this book address changes in the EU natural gas market that may require redefining the rules for using network infrastructure under third party access. The opening
chapters show that gas-fired power plant gas demand and the increased participation of liquefied natural gas supply multiply the demand for flexibility services and the flexible use of
networks. Professors at the Florence School of Regulation propose an EU gas target model that merges neighboring markets to create competitively viable and tightly unified entry/exit zones, and
a free market model where market forces are permitted to decide the most convenient number, location and size of European hubs. Annotation ©2014 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR (protoview.com)
