This project is a part of an initiative to establish a major East – West electricity transmission corridor between Bulgaria, North Macedonia, Albania and potentially Italy (via a planned submarine cable). Bitola to Albanian
border, with substation at Ohrid section is part of the North Macedonia / Albania section of that corridor. The section between Bulgaria and North Macedonia has been completed, and the submarine cable is now planned between Italy and Montenegro. Whilst the 400kV connection between Albania and Montenegro is operational, the Albania and Kosovo* connection is at tendering stage.

The Brody – Adamowo oil pipeline project envisages the construction of the pipeline, which will connect the Main Oil Transfer Pumping Station “Brody” (the end point of the existing Odessa – Brody oil pipeline in Ukraine) with the oil tank farm in Adamowo (the connection point to northern line of Druzhba pipeline system). It is an integral part of the Euro-Asian Oil Transportation Corridor (EAOTC), by which the Caspian and Central Asian crude oil will be delivered to customers in Poland and other European countries. The corridor starts in Azerbaijan, runs through the territory of Georgia, Black Sea, Ukraine and Poland, and creates opportunities for transporting crude oil to Slovakia, Czech Republic, Poland, Germany, and through Sea Oil Terminal Gdansk – to the recipients in Baltic countries. The Brody – Adamowo Oil Pipeline also creates the possibility to transport the crude oil in reverse mode – from Baltic Sea to the consumers in Ukraine, Slovak and Czech Republic.
This project will integrate Bosnia and Herzegovina with Croatia and other neighboring gas markets. It will be bidirectional and together with "South Interconnecor BiH-Croatia" creates a part of EnC gas ring. Main goal is to diversify gas route and supply sources for Bosnia and Herzegovina. Expected benefits are to directly increase (N-1) for Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Project will interconnect Bosnia and Herzegovina with Croatian gas transmission system and in this development phase will enable gasification of this part of Croatia and part of UnaSana Canton on the west part of Bosnia and Herzegovina. In the future there is possibility that the pipeline (via Jajce) will be connected to the existing gas transmission pipeline. Main goal is to enable development of natural gas market and to introduce gas as environmental favourable fuel in residential, industrial and power generation sector.
Project interconnects natural gas systems of Bosnia and Herzegovina and Croatia. Main goal is to establish new supply route for Bosnia and Herzegovina providing reliable and diversified natural gas supply increasing security of supply (BiH current N-1 = 0). Additionally, capacity of the existing transmission system (constructed in 1979) is not enough to meet Bosnia and Herzegovina current demand during winter season, nor for planned market enhancement
The project will ensure supply of additional quantities of natural gas from Greece and other sources that will be available through Greece, direct connection to the existing LNG Terminal Revithoussa and transit of additional quantities of natural gas intended for Kosovo* and Serbia.
The project consists of a gas interconnector between the gas transmission systems of North Macedonia and Kosovo, in two distinct parts that are going to be built and operated by the respective TSOs.
Security and diversification of gas supply, fostering regional energy integration and the regional market integration. Construction of a new pipeline that will have a length of 170 km (BG 62 km) land a gas transmission capacity of 4.93 mcm/d. The pipeline will be interconnecting the Bulgaria and Republic of Serbia gas systems between Sofia (BG) and Nis (RS) and will involve the use of potential and existing gas transmission infrastructures on territories of Bulgaria and Republic of Serbia
Security and diversification of gas supply, fostering regional energy integration and the regional market integration. Main goal of the project is to establish interconnection of the Serbian and Croatian gas transmission systems in order to provide market integration, diversification of gas supply sources and increase the security of supply in the both countries.
Fostering regional energy integration and the regional market integration and Natural gas diversification, security of supply, transit of additional quantities of natural gas from Greece intended for Serbia.
The project aims to establish a new supply route for natural gas from the Middle East and Caspian Region transported by Trans Adriatic Pipeline, north-eastwards of the Western Balkan area towards Kosovo, Serbia and Macedonia. The ALKOGAP project however shall be planned as bi-directional pipeline, so the possible supply direction could also be north – south, from the Energy Community Gas Ring (ECGR), or other sources.
The main goals of the project are as follows:
(1) to increase security and stability of cross-border gas transmission between Poland and Ukraine and thus in the whole CEE region;
(2) to decrease vulnerability of Poland and Ukraine systems in case of supply disruptions from Russian side;
(3) diversification of gas sources and routes for the CEE region
The Ionian Adriatic Pipeline (IAP) project is based on the idea to connect the existing Croatian gas transmission system, via Montenegro and Albania with the TAP system (Trans Adriatic Pipeline) or a similar project. The total length of the gas pipeline from the Croatian town Split to Albanian town Fieri is 511 km. Its 5 bcm/y capacity provides the natural gas supply of Albania (1 bcm), Montenegro (0.5 bcm), the south of Bosnia and Herzegovina (1 bcm) and Croatia (2.5 bcm).
The overall objective of the project is to ensure a high level of energy security of the Republic of Moldova and the North-East part of Romania by diversifying the sources of natural gas. The interconnector Iasi – Ungheni has been constructed and put into operation with low throughput in March 2015. The segment Ungheni-Chisinau (2nd phase of the project) will tie-in into the existing interconnector, close to Ungheni and will transport the gas to Chisinau, the capital and biggest consumption area.
The TANAP (Trans-Anatolian Natural Gas Pipeline) Project will contribute to the European gas supply security and diversity by opening up the Southern Gas Corridor. It constitutes a significant part of the gas supply value chain together with SCPX (South Caucasus Pipeline-Expansion) and TAP (Trans Adriatic Pipeline) pipelines and provides a platform to foster gas to gas competition in European gas market based initially upon gas supplies from Azerbaijan’s Shah Deniz gas field.
Project aims to employ a reverse swap mechanism to solve the gas market seclusion problem of Georgia. Reverse swap can be enabled via installation of the Second offtake point of the SCP pipeline or the upgrade of the only existing offtake. Additional gas volumes to be received technically, will give possibility to bring LNG to Italy/Greece regasification ports for TAP gas buyers, and offtake those volumes from SCP in Georgia.
SCPX objective (being a part of the Southern Gas Corridor) is to expand the existing SCP gas transportation system capacity from 7bcma to 23bcma (+16bcma plateau annual average), delivered to the Georgia-Turkey border. This is to be accomplished by building a new 48” pipeline loop in parallel with the existing SCP.
Trans-Balkan system is a key element of energy security of the Balkans and Southern Europe and indispensable element of North-South Gas Corridor. The Trans-Balkan route consists of three high diameter pipelines, which can transport bi-directionally close to 26.8 bcm of natural gas after some reconstructions. The Ukrainian GTS and Moldavian GTS can transport close to 26.8 bcm from/to UA-PL, UA-SK and UA-HU borders to/from the IPs with Romania. In case of construction of TANAP and Turkish stream, this project would become a strategic one as it could ensure security of supply of Balkan Region and would ensure utilization of the existing infrastructure.
