Description
Objectives

Construction of the Greek section of the Greece-North Macedonia gas interconnector, 55km in length. The North Macedonian side is covered by the project "GAS INTERCONNECTOR GREECE-NORTH MACEDONIA NMPART".

The project, only financing the Greek part of the interconnector, will further optimise the use of the Greek national gas transmission system. Additionally, it will enable the North Macedonian part of it to provide security of gas supply and competition between supply sources, by offering diversification of routes and sources.

Environmental aspects
Procurement

The Greece-North Macedonia pipeline falls under Annex II of the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Directive 2011/92/EU (amended 2014/52/EU). The EIA included consideration of potential cross-border impacts and the involvement of the competent authority in response to notification of the project under the Espoo Convention.

The Bank will require the Promoter to ensure that contracts for the implementation of the project will be tendered in accordance with the relevant applicable EU procurement legislation, 2014/25/EU, where applicable, as well as Directive 92/13/EEC as interpreted by the Court of Justice of the EU, with publication of tender notices in the EU Official Journal, as and where required.

Before financing approval by the Board of Directors, and before loan signature, projects are under appraisal and negotiation. The information and data provided on this page are therefore indicative.
