Project Details

• Owner: FGSZ Ltd. (HU), Plinovodi, d.o.o (SI)
• Capacity: 3.4 million cubic meters per day / 1.241 billion cubic meters per year
• Length: 114 km / 70.84 miles
• Status: Proposed
• Start Year: 2023

Background

The pipeline has been approved for inclusion on the European Commission's Projects of Common Interest list, meaning it will receive public funding from the EU. According to the European Commission, "The PCI will establish a bidirectional interconnection between SI and HU gas transmission systems and with that a connection of the national gas markets. It will improve possibilities for diversification of gas sources (LNG sources from the Adriatic region and any other sources), which are available in SI and enable access to gas storages in HU for SI users. The security of supply (N-1 criteria) will be improved for the existing SI gas system as well as for the HU gas market to a certain extent. The length of the gas pipeline between Nagykanizsa (HU) and Kidrievo (SI) will be approximately 114 km and the expected maximum transmission capacity will be up to 12.86 GWh/d by 2022 and 38.1 GWh/d (3.4 mcm/d) by 2023."
