Background

The Tesla pipeline was a proposed natural gas pipeline which would connect the planned Turkish Stream pipeline (extending from Russia across the Black Sea to Turkey) further on to Central Europe, via Greece, North Macedonia, Serbia and Hungary, ending at the Baumgarten gas hub near Vienna, Austria. The pipeline would cost an estimated $4.45 billion and would provide Russia an alternate route for shipping gas to Europe that does not go through Ukraine.

In January 2017, Natural Gas World reported that the Tesla Pipeline "only exists on paper as a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding" and that the pipeline might not be built.

There have been no development updates since 2015 and the project is presumed to be cancelled.
