The Turkey-Greece-Italy gas corridor
(ITGI)
comprises:
| • |
the existing Turkish gas network, owned and operated
by Botas. |
| |
| • |
the existing Interconnector Turkey-Greece (ITG),
developed by Botas and Desfa and in operation since November
2007. |
| |
| • |
the Interconnector Greece-Italy (IGI),
which includes two different sections: |
| |
| o |
onshore section in Greek territory, from Komotini to
the Thesprotia Coast, for a length of approximately
600 km, under development by Desfa; |
| o |
offshore section - the Poseidon
Pipeline
- 207 km long, linking the Italian and Greek gas
networks crossing the Ionian Sea, under development
by Edison and Depa through the company IGI Poseidon
S.A. |
|
The IGI
project is therefore the missing link
for the completion of the ITGI
natural
gas corridor as approximately 1700 km of the overall 2500
km of the ITGI
project route is already existing and enabled to transport the
gas to Italy.
Therefore, considering the status of development of the institutional
and commercial framework, the ITGI gas corridor is the most
advanced opportunity to supply Caspian and Middle East
natural gas to Europe. |
