Investment costs for 48 inch
Yearly volume transported: 20 bcm
Capacity@7400 hours LF: 2,7 mln Nm3/h
CAPEX per country:
• 400 km 48 inch pipeline = 800 mln EUR
• 3 compressor stations ( each 35 MW) = 300 mln EUR
• Total CAPEX per country = 1,1 billion EUR
OPEX per country:
• OPEX for pipe and compressors = 21 mln EUR/year
• Fuel cost for compressors = 67 mln EUR/year (7400 running
hours per year)

Investment costs for 48 inch (36 inch)
Yearly volume transported: 20 bcm (10 bcm)
Capacity@7400 hours LF: 2,7 mln Nm3/h (1,35 mln Nm3/h)
CAPEX per country:
• 400 km 48 inch pipeline = 800 mln EUR (560)
• 3 compressor stations = 300 mln EUR (200)
• Total CAPEX per country = 1,1 billion EUR (760)
OPEX per country:
• OPEX for pipe and compressors = 21 mln EUR/year (14)
• Fuel cost for compressors = 67 mln EUR/year (7400 running
hours per year) (34)

Investment costs remarks
• No overhead costs or general administration only direct OPEX
(e.g maintenance and operation)
• Costs reflect the range of investment costs of the TSOs in the
active group (+/- 40 %) excluding tax
• We think more accurate estimation is unnecessary at the
moment and also not possible without complex studies taken
into account the exact route of the pipeline
• Fuel gas at gas price of 25 EUR/MWH
• Are two pipeline diameters sufficient?

• 20 bcm and 10 bcm are at their “limit”
• Other options can be expanded with adding Comp Stations
