The natural gas withdrawn from the national transportation network in 2014 (61.42 billion cubic metres) is mainly destined for: (i) redelivery to users at network exit points (60.97 billion cubic metres; −11.7%); (ii) exports and transit (0.28 billion cubic metres), mainly to Slovenia; and (iii) consumption by the compression stations and gas emissions from the network and from Snam Rete Gas plants (0.18 billion cubic metres).

Gas demand in Italy was 61.94 billion cubic metres in 2014, down by 8.13 billion cubic metres (−11.6%) compared with 2013. This decrease, which occurred in all sectors, reflected lower consumption in the residential and tertiary sector (−5.27 billion cubic metres; −17.0%), due mainly to weather trends, and in the thermoelectric sector (−2.87 billion cubic metres; −14.0%), due to a contraction in electricity demand and simultaneous growth in the production of energy from renewable sources (mainly hydroelectric and photovoltaic power).
Adjusted for weather effect, gas demand was 66.97 billion cubic metres, down 3.15 billion cubic metres (−4.5%) compared with 2013 (70.12 billion cubic metres).

The transportation capacity of the network again covered all user demand in 2014. Average transportation capacity provided in 2014 was 374 million cubic metres on average per day. In addition to the aforementioned capacities which concern the entry points interconnected with foreign countries and the LNG terminals, a transportation capacity totalling 31 million cubic metres on average per day is available at the domestic production entry points.
Lastly, ISO 9001 certification has been confirmed for the transportation capacity definition process.
