The construction of the natural gas interconnection pipeline with the Republic of Greece is currently in progress. The section is in length of 67 kilometers, from Negotino to the border with Greece. The project is financed by the European Investment Bank (EIB) through an investment grant within the Western Balkans Investment Framework (WBIF) program, as well as by the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD).
The natural gas interconnector between North Macedonia and Greece will have a total length of 123 kilometers, encompassing both the Macedonian and Greek sections. The pipeline will extend from Nea Mesimvria to Negotino, passing through Gevgelija, and will interconnect the national natural gas transmission systems of the two countries. The initial transmission capacity of the interconnector will amount to 1.5 billion cubic meters per year, with the potential for expansion to 3 billion cubic meters per year. Furthermore, technical studies have been conducted to ensure that the pipeline complies with the necessary specifications for the transportation of hydrogen.
