GRIP CEE 2017 / Main Report

4.2.9 SLOVENIA (SL)

The picture below shows the main supply corridor for Slovenia, which under normal conditions runs through Austria (at the figure marked SI1). Other gas supply corri- dors, in case of a supply disruption through Ukraine, run through Italy (marked SI2) and through Croatia (marked SI3). The supply corridor through Croatia can possibly be used from 2020 when reverse flow capacity is planned to be built. The first inter- connection between Slovenia and Hungary is planned for 2020. An interesting fact about Slovenia is that it has no indigenous production of natural gas or any under- ground storage in its territory.
