Interconnector

The pipeline, dubbed Interconnector Greece-Bulgaria, or IGB, will have an annual capacity of three billion cubic meters to five billion cubic meters, with the supplies coming from Azerbaijan, said Edison Chief Executive Umberto Quadrino.

Besides Nabucco, the other major proposed pipelines for Caspian gas are the Trans Adriatic Pipeline and Interconnector Turkey-Greece-Italy, or ITGI, pipeline.

Additionally Nabucco is competing for Shah Deniz II gas with at least two other pipeline projects—the Trans Adriatic Pipeline and the Interconnector Turkey Greece Italy, known as ITGI.

Domestic supplies of gas have also been exported to the continent via the Interconnector under-sea pipeline, because prices are higher there than in the UK.

The Interconnector Greece-Italy, led by Edison SpA and Greek monopoly gas company DEPA, would carry gas to Southern Italy, which could then be sold in Europe.

The other project is ITGI, or Interconnector Turkey Greece Italy, which is being developed by Italian utility Edison SpA and Greek monopoly gas company DEPA.

The Interconnector, inaugurated in 1998, is capable of bi-direction operation, meaning either it can export natural gas from the UK to continental Europe (“Forward Mode”), or it can import natural gas into the UK (“Reverse Mode”).

A consortium of companies, led by BG, Ruhrgas, and Distrigas, operates the Interconnector pipeline between Bacton, England and Zeebrugge, Belgium.

For most of its career, the Interconnector operated in Forward Mode, with a capacity of 1.9 Bcf/d.

Indicative of this trend, the operators of the Interconnector natural gas pipeline linking the UK and Belgium announced in August 2005 that they would change the flow of the system, exporting gas from the Continent to the UK, rather than importing gas from the UK.
