Summary sheet
The project consists of two high-pressure pipeline sections from El Tina to Abu Sultan (62 km) and from Dashour to El Kureimat (88 km).
The objective is to strengthen the gas transmission system in view of the increasing gas demand in the country.
The two pipelines are planned mainly to cross desert zones, as well as some agricultural and residential areas. The Bank has requested the promoter to carry out formal environmental impact assessments, which will be reviewed during appraisal.
The Bank will require the promoter to tender contracts to be financed by EIB in accordance with the Bank’s principle procurement rules, with which the promoter is familiar, including international competitive tendering with publications in the Official Journal of the EU.
