Project Details

• Owner: FGSZ ltd.
• Current capacity:
• Length:
• Status: Proposed
• Start Year: 2022

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 objectives of the PCI are: reducing the flow direction switch operation time, developing the transmission capacity in HU->SK and SK->HU directions from interruptible capacity to non-interruptible (firm) capacity, enhancement of Exit transmission capacity with 102 GWh/d in HU->SK direction and enhancement of Entry transmission capacity with 26 GWh/d in SK->HU direction at Balassagyarmat with adding power on Szada compressor station. Equal level of transmission capacities will be available in both directions at the SK-HU interconnection."
