Background

The Al Andalus gas pipeline is owned and operated by Enagás, Spain's main natural gas carrier. Galp Energia owns capacity rights in the pipeline until these expire in 2020.

It includes the Tarifa-Córdoba, Córdoba-Jaén-Granada, Genil-Málaga Bridge, Granada-Motril, and Málaga-Estepona gas pipeline branches. Completion of the Córdoba-Jaén-Granada gas pipeline allowed for the start of the gasification of the eastern part of Andalusia—Spain's second-largest autonomous community.
