22 Conclusions Crucial importance of the gas diversification. LNG will increase its role. A wide and flexible range of gas specifications makes many LNG sources accessible to European stakeholders. Ø A small range of gas quality allowed would increase demand and price of the remaining sources Residential gas market has still room for growth in Spain compared with other EU countries. Electricity generation has led the variation in gas demand in the last decade. The use of CCGTs has sharply decrease, impacting on overall gas demand. However, CCGTs are essential to secure the daily demand. The changes in the conventional operating environment increase the need for more flexibility CCGTs are more and more required to compensate the lack of management of intermittent technologies Although other means (e.g. interconnection, storage, DSR) will play an important role, the provision of flexibility in the power system will mostly rely on thermal generation capacity 22
