6.3.1.2 Support to the North-West market and bidirectional Cross-Border flows

The second phase is scheduled for commissioning in September 2018 and involves the construction of pipelines Cervignano–Mortara (62 km – DN 1400) and Minerbio–Poggio Renatico (19km – DN1200, already in operation since December 2015), as well as new compression plants in Minerbio (24MW) and Sergnano (45MW) and the expansion of the existing compression plant in Poggio Renatico (+25MW). The total length of new pipelines envisaged by this second project phase is 81km, for an overall additional compression power of 94MW. These investments will make available a new capacity of 35MSm³/d (around 375 GWh/d). Summed up to the capacity already created by the first investment phase, the total reverse flow capacity available at the commissioning date will reach the level of 40MSm³/d (around 429GWh/d), 22MSm³/d (around 238 GWh/d) at Griespass exit IP and 18MSm³ (around 191 GWh/d) as competing capacity between Griespass exit and Tarvisio exit IPs. The project “Support to the North-West market and bidirectional cross-border flows” is included in ENTSOG TYNDP 2017 with the identification code TRA-F-214.
