Project details

• Operator: DESFA S.A
• Owner: DESFA S.A
• Parent company: DEPA
• Length: 163 km
• Diameter: 30 in
• Status: Construction
• Start year: 2023
• Cost: 110 million EUR

Background

According to the preliminary routing, the pipeline starts from the area of the existing Line Valve Station (LVS) at Trikala Imathias and will have a length of about 122km, out of which 94km with diameter of 30’’ and aprox 28km with diameter of 14’’. The project includes a Metering station to supply the district heating installations for the cities of the region, as well as line valves to supply other consumption in the region. The capacity of the station is estimated at 50.000 Nm3/h. It will also include branches for connection to the M/R stations of Aspros and Perdikas (already planned projects to be supplied from TAP pipeline until construction of this pipeline), a branch for the supply of Veria/ Naoussa district as well as provisions for future consumptions in the region.

The pipeline will also be "hydrogen-ready" upon commissioning, and will be part of the European Hydrogen Backbone project. It will be able to transport 100% hydrogen gas.
