TIRANA (Albania), May 24 (SeeNews) – The Trans Adriatic Pipeline (TAP) consortium said on Thursday almost 59% of the gas pipeline route in Albania and Greece is being reinstated.
Land on over 450 km of the total length of the pipeline route is being restored to its original condition, the consortium said in a Twitter post.
Connecting with the Trans Anatolian Pipeline (TANAP) at Greece's border with Turkey, TAP will stretch across northern Greece, Albania and the Adriatic Sea before reaching Italy's coast where it will connect to the Italian natural gas network.
TAP is part of the Southern Gas Corridor, which also comprises the South Caucasus Pipeline (SCP) crossing Azerbaijan and Georgia, and TANAP.
The shareholders of TAP are BP, Azerbaijan’s state company Socar and Italy’s Snam with 20% each, Belgium’s Fluxys with 19%, Spain’s Enagas with 16% and Swiss-based Axpo with 5%.
