Guitiriz-Zamora-Adradas Gas Pipeline
Guitiriz-Zamora-Adradas Gas Pipeline is a proposed gas pipeline in Spain.[1]
Location
The pipeline would run from Guitiriz to Adradas in Spain, passing through Lugo, Villafranca del Bierzo, Castropodame, Zamora, and La Barbolla.[2]

- ENTSOG Project Code: TRA-N-729[1]
Background
The Guitiriz-Zamora-Adradas Gas Pipeline is a component of the 3rd interconnection PT-ES project, one of several international pipeline projects designed to create a single natural gas market within the European Union.[4] It is listed as a European Network of Transmission System Operators for Gas (ENTSOG) project with the code "TRA-N-729"[1] and as a Project of Common Interest with the code "5.4.2".[2]
The proposed pipeline would comprise five sections of varying diameter, as follows:
- Guitiriz-Lugo, 28 km, 30"
- Lugo-Villafranca del Bierzo, 90 km, 30"
- Villafranca del Bierzo-Castropodame, 30 km, 30"
- Castropodame-Zamora, 170 km, 24"
- Zamora-La Barbolla-Adradas, 307 km, 32"[5]
The European Commission's fourth official list of Projects of Common Interest (PCI), released in October 2019, no longer includes the 3rd interconnection PT-ES as a top-ranked project, leaving the future of the Guitiriz-Zamora-Adradas pipeline unclear.[4][6] However, it was included on ENTSOG's October 2020 TYNDP Transmission Map in a scaled-back version of the project, running only from Guitriz to Zamora in a 318 km pipeline.[7] Despite this revival, it has not been featured in ENTSOG's 2022 TYNDP, and is presumed to be shelved.[8]
