(MENAFN- AzerNews) The Trans Adriatic Pipeline (TAP) is set to add 1.2 billion
cubic meters of gas to its capacity after 2026, of which 1 billion
will go to Italy and 200 million will be transported to Albania,
Azernews reports via Italian media.
Reportedly, the first tranche of the added capacity will be
delivered from 2026 to December 2028, while the second tranche will
be transported from October 2026 to September 2033. The first
infrastructure upgrade will therefore be carried out by the end of
2025.
"And, of those first 1.2 billion, one billion will be directed
to Italy and the remaining 200 million to Albania," said Italian
media.
TAP's capacity could rise to over 20 billion cubic meters a
year, without laying new pipes, only by increasing the gas
compression power in Greece and Albania, and minimal interventions
in Italy.
As the European section of the Southern Gas Corridor, TAP has
the capacity to transport approximately 10 billion cubic meters of
gas per annum (bcm/a) to several markets in Europe. The pipeline is
also designed with the potential to expand its throughput capacity
up to 20 bcm/a.
As a key part of the Southern Gas Corridor, TAP is strategically
and economically important to Europe and essential in providing
reliable access to a new source of natural gas. TAP plays a
significant role in boosting Europe's energy security, supply
diversification, as well as decarbonisation objectives.
