Your feasibility study

This feasibility study will indicate the most advantageous connection options for your site. Feasibility studies, which take at least 8 weeks to complete, look into:

• The best technical route for your connection
• The capacity of Fluxys' Connection and Blending Station injection station and its required functionalities
• The permits required to build the Connection and Blending station
• How much time obtaining all those permits will take
• Check if the blending the Non-Compatible Gas is possible at the producer's location; this depends on the composition of the Non-Compatible Gas.

Who will bear which costs?

To promote the injection of renewable gas into the transmission network, Fluxys Belgium supports these connections and facilitates the injection of Non-Compatible Gas in the following way:

• Costs for the Injection Station: 50% covered by Fluxys Belgium and 50% covered by the producer, provided that it concerns the injection of green gas. In other cases, 100% covered by the producer.
• Connection costs (pipeline): 100% covered by the producer.
• Bank guarantee: The producer's share of the cost is covered by a bank guarantee corresponding to the transmission capacity to be booked for a period of 15 years.
• Cash reimbursement: If the amount to be paid by the producer exceeds the value of the transmission capacity to be booked (at the regulated tariff) over a period of 15 years, this excess amount is covered by a cash payment. The cash portion covered by the producer will be reimbursed over a period of 15 years.
• Electricity costs: The electricity costs for the Connection and Blending Station are covered by the producer.

What is the waiting time for your connection?

The time elapsing between your application and the commissioning of your connection will depend on a number of factors:

• The duration of the permit procedures
• The length of the pipeline to be installed
• The construction and commissioning of the Connection and Blending station
• The technical complexity of the connection

Due to the duration of the permitting procedures, it is advisable to take into account a timeframe of 24 to 46 months.
