3. Development of the Natural Gas Distribution Network for the period 2018-2022

3.1. Distribution Network Development Areas In order to provide the possibility to connect to the Natural Gas Network even more residents, it is planned its further expansion to the existing areas (12 Municipalities in Thessaloniki and 7 in Thessaly) but also in new areas, both through a pipeline network and compressed natural gas (CNG).

From the new areas of Thessaloniki, the five (5) are planned to be supplied by compressed natural gas (CNG) as they are remote from the existing Distribution Network. Similarly for Thessaly, ten (10) new areas will be supplied through CNG. This will enable residents and businesses in these areas to benefit from the use of natural gas by reducing the financial burden compared to competing fuels.

In detail, the new development areas of the Distribution Network in Thessaloniki and Thessaly as well as the year of connection of each region are presented below:

3.2. Distribution Network Construction The expansion of the Distribution Network in existing and new areas will be achieved through the construction of Medium Pressure Networks (19 bar) and Low Pressure Networks (4 bar). For the year 2018, the construction of 4.150 meters of 19bar Medium Pressure Network and 59.7 km of 4bar Low Pressure Network is expected in the area of Thessaloniki while in the areas of Thessaly in 2018 will be constructed 5.000 meters of Medium Pressure 19bar network and the construction of Low Pressure 4 bar network with total length 37,6 km. In total, for the period 2018-2022, the following Network expansions have been scheduled: ■ Medium Pressure Network Expansions 19bar 6.4km and 5.0km respectively for Thessaloniki and Thessaly. The Medium Pressure Network for Thessaloniki concerns new areas, while for Thessaly to strengthen the distribution network. ■ Low-pressure Network Expansions 4bar 205 km and 165 km for the regions of Thessaloniki and Thessaly respectively.

For areas where (CNG) compressed natural gas supply has been planned, in addition to the construction of local pipeline networks, provision has been made for installing a CNG decompressor in each of these areas. In the following tables are presented the expansions of Low and Medium Pressure Network for the period 2018-2022, separately for existing and new areas in Thessaloniki and Thessaly.

3.4. Distributed Quantities of Natural Gas The amount of gas distributed in the years 2018-2022 is derived from the number of active customers per year as well as from the specific consumption by category. Specific consumption is based on historical data from previous periods, thus taking into account fluctuations in seasonality and weather conditions. To determine the specific consumption of new Industrial customers, their estimated consumption is taken into account. Specific consumption per customer category and geographical area is shown in the following Tables in MWh / year. Specific consumption has been considered as common for existing and new areas of each geographical area.

4.1. Investment Budget

The cost of the total investment of the Network expansion is estimated at € 95.6 million, which is intended for investments in Distribution Networks (4-bar, 19-bar, reduction stations, CNG de- compressors, other additional investments in the Network) and for investments related to new connections (service lines, gas points, meter installation). Investments are calculated taking into account the cost per unit for each construction category, which includes the cost of contractors, materials and personnel costs of EDA THESS. The amount of investments per year for the period 2018-2022 for existing and new areas is presented in the following Tables. Cost analysis by category is presented in detail in Other Data.

4.2. Investment Funding Regarding investment funding, an assumption for loan financing has been incorporated during the period of the Development Program 2018-2022. In particular, to cover the required investments (total amount for the period 2018-2022: € 95.6 million) except for Equity, a loan financing forecast of € 34 million for the period 2018-2022 has been made and the Company has already received a loan of € 16 million in 2017. In addition, in the assumptions of the Development Program, no aid / subsidies have been incorporated for the construction of new Networks (e.g. NSRF), but it is noted that the Company may proceed with the procedures for receiving relevant funds.

In accordance with Article 12 of the Main Gas Distribution Activity Tariffs regulation, to evaluate the financial efficiency of a new Distribution Network development work, the impact of the implementation of the project on the Distribution Network's Average Charge during the New Project Assessment Period is calculated. The Evaluation Period of a New work may be different from the Calculation Period of the Distribution Tariffs in order to be taken into account the degree of utilization of the Distribution Network with a long-term horizon as the penetration in the new areas is progressively realized while the Network investments in them take place mainly the first years. The Distribution Tariffs for the areas of Thessaloniki and Thessaly for the year 2018 have been approved and will be implemented according to the decisions no. 346/2016 and 347/2016. For the period 2019-2022, taking into account the parameters of approved distribution tariffs, the criterion of financial efficiency is met, as new investments lead to weighted average distribution tariffs at the same level as the approved tariffs, while allowing new consumers to connect to new and existing areas. The above are summarized in the following Table.

6. Other Actions in the Development of the Distribution Network

6.1. Security and Maintenance of Natural Gas Installations

Security of Natural Gas Distribution Network Network Operation and Maintenance activities focus on security aspects of the gas distribution system as foreseen in the Operation and Maintenance Manual of the Medium and Low Pressure distribution networks (Government Gazette 1712/2006). EDA THESS will implement the Maintenance Program (see Section 6.3) and the relevant provisions of the Natural Gas Network Operation Code as well as the company's preventive maintenance and emergency response procedures for the operation of the Distribution Network in a safe and reliable manner. Also, in the period 2018-2022, preparedness drills will be planned and implemented, as in previous years, with the participation of, as the case may be, the personnel of EDA THESS, contractors, Fire Brigade, Hellenic Police and the Civil Protection Service. At the same time, and if required, the Company will participate in any drills in accordance with the Emergency Program of the Operator of the National Natural Gas System. It should be noted that part of the information campaign to be carried out by the Company concerns the provision of information to the public on the safety aspects of natural gas installations and the distribution network infrastructures. Security and Inspection of Internal Natural Gas Installations Particularly important is the systematic inspection of internal installations and the granting of licenses in accordance with the applicable legislation and corporate procedures. The Budget of 2018 foresees about 16,000 internal inspections, to supply gas to 13,211 internal installations. Respectively, the review of the study files will be preceded and then the licenses of facilities will be issued. EDA THESS in the context of the safe operation of internal installations with the maximum economy in the use of natural gas, and in accordance with the provisions of the Natural Gas Network Code of Operation, will continue to carry out sample inspections of the internal installations in order to verify that the maintenance works are carried out on behalf of the consumers and the existence of the Re- Inspection Certificate for Pipeworks’ Tightness required for installations which have completed 4 years since the initial operation as defined in “Technical Regulation for gas installations with an operating pressure of up to 500 mbar (Government Gazette Β 976 2012). According to the planning, around 4,000 sample checks are expected in 2018. Maintenance of Natural Gas Distribution Network According to Article 57 of the Natural Gas Network Code Operation : "The Operator shall be responsible for the proper operation and maintenance of the Distribution Network in accordance with the national specifications and the technical regulations and in the event that they do not exist, in accordance with the regulations and practices applicable to the gas industry in the Member States of the European Union. In particular, the Operator is required to perform the necessary inspections, maintenance, repairs and replacements of the Distribution Network, in accordance with the provisions of this Code and the Manual, and until its issue, in the “Manual for the operation and maintenance of medium pressure gas distribution networks (design pressure 19 bar) and low pressure gas distribution networks (maximum operating pressure 4 bar)” (Government Gazette Β' 1712/23.11.2006), provided they do not conflict with the provisions of this Code, by establishing an annual Distribution Network Maintenance Program.”

6.2. Adoption of new technologies to improve the quality of the services provided In the context of the Company's investments in new technologies with the aim of improving the quality of the services provided an upgrade of Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition system (SCADA) is held. The new system will ensure real-time online communication and will exceed the existing SCADA capabilities and will enable the service to know the real-time network state and intervene whenever it deems necessary. This upgrade is expected to achieve the following: ■ Continuous monitoring of the Natural Gas network in real time ■ Immediate updating of faults and irregularities in network operation ■ Direct control of remote-control valves from a control point ■ Redundancy and hot stand-by functions between the two control centers (Thessaloniki and Thessaly) ■ Storage of all information and operational situations of each station for the purpose of future processing and use ■ Ability to add new control points ■ Short and long-term planning and programming to fully exploit the networks ■ Effective administrative control over networks In addition, and with the ultimate goal of improving the quality of services to end-users, EDA THESS develops a program for the installation of telemetering devices for re-activation and new meters activations at inaccessible locations.
