Background

It is designed as a connector between the Trans-Adriatic Gas Pipeline, which brings gas across the Mediterranean from Greece, and the Adriatica Pipeline, which will transport gas to northern Italy.

The project is listed in the European Network of Transmission System Operators for Gas Ten Year Network Development Plan with the code "TRA-N-1195". The project also appears within project 7.3.4 on the European Commission's Projects of Common Interest list, making it eligible for EU public funding support. The pipeline was included in the 5th PCI list published by the European Commission in November 2021.
