| THE REGION AT A GLANCE | The South REM is led by the Spanish Energy Commission (CNE) and aims to integrate Portugal, Southern France and Spain into one gas regional market.
The South REM represents a gas consumption of 80 bcm/year, almost 17% of the EU25's gas market. The South REM contributes to both the European security of energy supply and diversification of energy sources. This region is one of the main entries for the natural gas coming from the north of Africa, and for the LNG coming from a variety of origins (87% of LNG supplied to EU25 enters by this region).Interconnection capacity, interoperability and transparency issues are the three key priorities of the South REM. |
