AGRS Graf Ignatievo to Hisarya–Banya–Karlovo-Sopot Gas Pipeline
| Part of the Global Gas Infrastructure Tracker, a Global Energy Monitor project. |
AGRS Graf Ignatievo to Hisarya–Banya–Karlovo-Sopot Gas Pipeline is a proposed natural gas pipeline in Bulgaria.[1]
Location
The pipeline would run from the existing Southern semi-ring, between the road Plovdiv and the village of Stroevo to Plovdiv, located at about 4 km east of the main road Karlovo – Plovdiv. Branches are envisaged to the towns of Hisarya and Banya and the village of Kaloyanovo. [1][2]

Background
Bulgatransgaz's 2022-2031 Ten-Year Network Development Plan features this project as being in the "early stages of development", with plans to connect existing pipelines at the Southern semi-ring.[3] The plan features several branches for the pipelines, going to the towns, Stroevo, Hisarya, Banya and Kaloyanovo.[1] The Automatic Gas Regulation Stations (AGRSs) are planned to be in the vicinity of the towns of Sopot and Karlovo (or one AGRS for the two towns).[2]
According to the Bulgartransgaz 2025-2034 Ten-Year Network Development Plan, the project is said to have "no investment decision," with the planned period of funding for 2025 and an estimated cost of 90 thousand Bulgarian lev (approx. 46 thousand EUR).[4] The cost seems too low for the project of this size.
