据俄罗斯油气网12月10日消息称，TAP的对外事务负责人Vugar Veysalov在一次独家采访中告诉EURACTIV：“运往意大利的天然气量(约85亿立方米/年)将占全国天然气需求的12%左右。”

Veysalov强调：“在跨亚得里亚海管道(TAP)建成之前，意大利企业为能源支付的价格要高于欧洲同行。这条新管道也将供应希腊和保加利亚，将带来更大的价格灵活性。”

他指出：“作为南部天然气走廊的欧洲段，TAP将把天然气从新的来源通过新的路线输送到欧洲，从而加强欧洲大陆的安全和供应多样化。运往意大利的天然气量(约85亿立方米/年)约占全国天然气需求的12%；在东南欧，由于数量较少，通过TAP输送的天然气将分别满足希腊和保加利亚每年20%到30%的天然气需求。”

Veysalov补充道:“根据市场情况，我们正在进行全面和持续的评估，TAP只需对系统进行微调就可以将其产能翻倍至200亿立方米/年。”

在塞萨洛尼基的建设工程开工4.5年后，横跨希腊、阿尔巴尼亚、亚得里亚海和意大利的全长878公里的跨亚得里亚海管道(TAP)开始商业运营。

TAP pipeline meets 12% of Italy’s gas demand

“Volumes heading to Italy (approximately 8.5 bcm/y) will represent around 12% of the national demand for gas,” head of external affairs at TAP Vugar Veysalov told EURACTIV in an exclusive interview.

“Before the Trans-Adriatic pipeline (TAP) was built, Italian businesses were paying a higher price for energy compared to their European peers. The new pipeline, which will also supply Greece and Bulgaria, will bring greater flexibility of prices,” Veysalov emphasized.

“As the European leg of the Southern Gas Corridor, TAP will bring natural gas to Europe from a new source and through a new route, thus reinforcing the continent’s security and diversification of supplies. Volumes heading to Italy (approximately 8.5 bcm/y) will represent around 12% of the national demand for gas; in South Eastern Europe, with volumes of lesser magnitude, the gas flowing through TAP will supply between the 20% and the 30% of the yearly gas demand of Greece and Bulgaria, respectively", he noted.

"Depending on market conditions we are thoroughly and constantly assessing, TAP could double its capacity to 20 bcm/y with minor modifications to the system,” Veysalov added.

4.5 years after the inauguration of construction works in Thessaloniki, the Trans Adriatic Pipeline (TAP), an 878-km gas transportation system crossing Greece, Albania, the Adriatic Sea and Italy, began commercial operations.
