NaTran Capacity Auctions 2026

Thanks to its central position in the heart of Europe, the French transmission network stands out as a key gas export hub to Italy (via Switzerland), Germany (via Switzerland or the France–Germany VIP), Belgium and Spain.

France therefore plays a strategic role within the European gas system, providing essential entry and exit capacities at the crossroads of supply and transit flows, particularly towards Eastern Europe.
