Network Development Plan for the 2018 - 2027 Period Preface This is the material of the tenth Gas Transmission Network Development Plan for the ten-year period, for the 2018 – 2027 period. It was developed in coordination with the European Network of Transmission System Operators for Gas (ENTSOG) and in the process of two regional development plans. Moreover, we are considering the development of neighbouring transmission systems and neighbouring gas markets, we pay special attention to the domestic gas market, the development of natural gas consumption in the country, and thus the necessary development of the transmission system. Moreover, we are continuing with the in-depth analyses of natural gas consumption in the future. The gas market is becoming more and more dynamic and insecure, natural gas flows in the transmission system and the natural gas consumption show growth, while the directions of natural gas flows have become increasingly unpredictable. We have recently used the term "dynamic market" only to describe the growing number of transmission contracts concluded for periods that began to shorten, and now this concept has expanded to all areas of our operations. The vibrancy of the market affects the scope of our work, business operations, and the planning of what the transmission system needs for its operation. The concern for reliable, safe and economical operation of the transmission system is at the forefront and properly covered in this document. We have analysed the presented projects, prioritised them and determined their implementation time line, using the prescribed procedures and tools. Our guiding principles were our assessments of the role and opportunities of natural gas as an environmentally- friendly energy product at the national level and in individual areas of the country.

In the energy balance sheet of the Republic of Slovenia for the year 2016 it was estimated that in the final energy consumption structure the share of petroleum products will stand out with 46.5%, followed by electricity with 22.5%, renewable energy sources with 13.8%, natural gas with 12.1%, heat with 3.7%, industrial waste with 0.8% and solid fuels with 0.7%. As an energy product, compared to the European average, natural gas has a much more modest representation in the national energy balance sheet, with the exception of industrial consumers sector.
