ENTSOG Gas Regional Investment Plan (GRIP) 2017 - 2026 / Southern Corridor / Main Report

6.2.3 PROJECTS ALLOWING GAS FLOWS FROM GREECE TOWARDS NORTH

The main objective of these projects is to provide an additional source of natural gas for Greece and enable gas to flow to the north, running from the LNG terminals in Greece (the Revithoussa terminal – currently under expansion – and the new Alexandroupolis FSRU, in northern Greece) to Bulgaria, FYRoM, Serbia, Romania, Hungary and up to Ukraine. Projects that will contribute to this effect are, in addition to the reverse flow capacity already implemented at the interconnecting points at the Greek/Bulgarian border (Kulata/Sidirokastro), the new interconnections between Greece and Bulgaria (IGB), between Bulgaria and Romania (IBR and TRA-N-379) and between Bulgaria and Serbia (IBS) as well as the projects at the Romanian/Ukrainian (Isaccea) borders and the east-west axis between Romania, Hungary and Austria. The objective is achieving diversification of sources and ensuring the security of natural gas supply to the relevant corridor/area. The last project added in this group is the 55km long (for the Greek part) interconnection between Greece and FYRoM. The list of projects in this category is the following:
