The Fluxys group’s indicative investment programme for 2010-2019 includes infrastructure projects in transmission, storage as well as LNG terminalling and requires spending of €2.1 billion.

Legal and regulatory framework

Transmission – Domestic transmission of natural gas for supply to customers in Belgium and border-to-border transmission of natural gas through Belgium.

Hub services- Huberator provides ancillary services for natural gas trading on the Zeebrugge Hub, one of the largest spot markets for natural gas in Europe.

Operational support services- GMSL monitors nominations for natural gas movements and transfers on continental European grids, the UK and Irish grids, subsea pipelines in the North Sea and natural gas production fields

Services for connected companies- Services for the end users connected to the Fluxys grid.
