One aspect of EU energy policy is to link the energy infrastructure of EU countries. The strategy for this is set out in the form of guidelines, in Regulation (EU) No 347/2013, the so-called ‘TEN-E Regulation’  (consolidated version of 31/3/2020).

Gas corridors

• North-south gas interconnections in Western Europe (NSI West Gas): Gas infrastructure for north-south gas flows in western Europe to further diversify routes of supply and for increasing short-term gas deliverability.
• ​North-south gas interconnections in central eastern and south eastern Europe (NSI East Gas): Gas infrastructure for regional connections between and within the Baltic Sea region, Adriatic and Aegean Seas, eastern Mediterranean Sea and Black Sea, and for enhancing diversification and security of gas supply.
• Southern Gas Corridor (SGC): Infrastructure for the transmission of gas from the Caspian Basin, Central Asia, Middle East and eastern Mediterranean Basin to the EU to enhance diversification of gas supply.
• Baltic Energy Market Interconnection Plan in gas (BEMIP Gas): Gas infrastructure to end the isolation of the three Baltic States and Finland and their dependency on a single supplier, to reinforce internal grid infrastructures, and to increase diversification and security of supplies in the Baltic Sea region.
