Description
The project consists of extension of national gas transmission system through the construction of some.159 km high pressure pipeline from Aghioi Theodoroi to Megalopolis in Greece. It comprises the installation of two sections of pipeline Aighioi Theodoroi to Examilia (15.6 km) and Examilia to Megalopoli (143.4 km) as well as metering and scraper stations. The project is expected to be implemented until end of March 2013.
Objectifs
The project is introducing natural gas in the Peloponnesus peninsula, which currently is not covered by the natural gas network. The pipeline will supply a new 850 MW CCGT power plant at Megalopolis also bringing gas to the Korinthos, Argos, Nafplio, Tripolis and Megalopolis areas. The installation of the Megalopolis power plant is a key element for the improvement of security of electricity supply in the Peloponnesus. It will guarantee the stability of the electricity network under peak conditions and will allow the gradual decommissioning of the lignite based generation.
