Pipelines and Compressor Stations Pipeline Section

Pipeline Comment

Diameter (mm) Length (km) Compressor Power (MW)

his offshore pipeline section is designed to transport 320 GWh/d of natural gas form the Levantine Basine and can be upgraded for further 190 GWh/d of natural gas from the offshore of Crete in case relevant reserves will be discovered. This section of the project is related to the offshore pipeline between Cyprus and Crete. This offshore pipeline section will tansport 350GWh/d to Cyprus where it will deliver 30 Gwh/d for the internal consumption and the remaing 320GW/d will be exported to Greece via Crete.

Competition, Market Integration, Security of Supply, Sustainability

Market Integration The project provides significant contribution to Market Integration as it allows to interconnect Cyprus and Crete to European gas network system. Security of Supply The contribution of EastMed project to Security of Supply is particularly relevant as it provides diversification of sources, routes and counterparts, providing solutions to the disruption scenarios. An additional benefit will be provided by enabling the gasification of Cyprus, Crete and Western Greece. Competition The EastMed project will enhance market competition along the whole gas chain, including among producers. The new gas will compete, to the advantage of the consumer, with all existing supplies available in the European markets, enhancing the benefits arising from a better diversified market. Sustainability The Eastmed project will provide competitive gas supply, contributing to displace power production from Coal and Oil, reducing CO2 emissions per energy unit generated.
