    Benefits

    The project is of great importance as it is expected to:

    • increase the operational flexibility of the LNG Terminal Station
    • improve the level of security of supply in case of interruption of the northern entry points
    • allow the reception of LNG carriers with a capacity of up to 260,000 m3 while the current capacity  is up to 140.000 m3  resulting in the activation of more LNG carriers.

    Additionally, the project is necessary for the hydraulic stability of the Transmission System, since the other two entry points to the NNGTS are located at the northern border of the country and the consumption is concentrated in the southern part.

  • Upgrade of Boarding Metering Station (BMS) of Sidirokastro- Second Phase

    The project includes:

    • the remote control of BMS Sidirokastro from the control center in Patima (GCC) and the backup control center (BCC) in Nea Mesimvria, through SCADA system.

    The project includes the design, procurement and installation of the third metering control line on the existing stab outs as well as all the electrical and electronic component equipment.

  • Upgrade the system of fixed communication of NNGS

    The upgraded system of fixed communications of NNGS will be able to meet future needs- namely, for the purposes of internal computer network and closed circuit television channels in natural gas it is required the connection with agencies O&Ms 100 – 1000 Mbps.

  • Installation of M/R Farsala

    The project refers to the installation of a M/R 70/19 Station in the area of Farsala line valve. The aim of the project is to supply with natural gas the urban area.

C. PROJECTS UNDER DESIGN / TENDER PROCEDURE

  • Installation of M/R Kavala

    The project refers to the installation of a M/R 70/19 Station in the area of Kavala line valve. The aim of the project is to supply with natural gas  the city of Kavala and the nearby cities of Palaio and Eleftheroupoli.

D. PROJECTS UNDER COMPLETION

  • Aliveri, expansion of the Natural Gas Transmission System

    The project involves the expansion of the high pressure transmission network to Aliveri and includes an onshore section from the main pipeline to the shores of the Euboean Bay, followed by an offshore section to the region of Aliveri and a small onshore section in Evia to the PPC station in Aliveri. The diameter of the pipeline is 20″ and the length of the on shore part is about 57.9 km, while the off shore part is expected to be 14.2 km approximately.

    The pipeline to Aliveri introduces the use of natural gas in central Evia in the urban, commercial and industrial sector, while feeding the new unit of PPC in the region.

    This project is cofunded under the NSRF 2007-2013.

  • 3rd Group of Metering and Regulating Stations

    The scope of the project included

    • the installation of 2 Metering Stations in Aliveri and Megalopoli in order to supply the Power Units of Public Power Coroporation (PPC)
    • the installation of 3 permanent Metering and Regulating Stations at Agioi Theodoroi (Korinthia), Trikala and Karditsa. These Stations supply the distribution networks of Low and Medium Pressure of the respected regions.

  • Megalopoli, expansion of the Natural Gas Transmission System

    The project concerns the expansion of the high pressure transmission network from the region of Agioi Theodoroi (Prefecture of Korinthos), via the isthmus, to the region of Megalopoli, Arcadia.

    The construction of the pipeline is foreseen to be one of 30″, 15.5 km long pipeline and one of 24″, 143.5 km long.

    The purpose of the construction of the project is to supply general industrial/urban areas along the routing (Corinthos, Argos, Nafplion, and around Tripoli, Megalopolis region) and the power generation units with natural gas that will be constructed in Megalopolis. The project was designed in a way to allow for future expansion of the pipeline in the region of the Peloponnese.

    The Project  was cofunded under the NSRF 2007-2013.

  • 4th Group of Metering Stations

    The project pertains to the installation of

    • the Metering Station that will supply natural gas to the power plant “Thisvi Power Generation Plant SA”, (Thisvi, Viotia),
    • the Metering Station to supply the power plant of “ENDESA HELLAS”, (Agios Nikolaos, Viotia)
    • the Metering Station to supply the power plant of “KORINTHOS POWER” (Motor Oil)

E. BIG PROJECTS UNDER FUTURE DEVELOPMENT

  • Compression Station in Kipi and metering stations

    The project aims at increasing the Transported Capacity of NNGS in order to be possible the transmission of natural gas volumes to the greek and European markets with the use of downstream transmission systems of natural gas, INGS, which are probable to be developed in the region (Trans Adriatic Pipeline-TAP, Interconnection Turkey Greece Italy-ITGI). The station can –if this is considered necessary- to be constructed gradually in order to supply at first the greek market and then it can be upgraded so as to serve volumes for transit outside Greece.
