TRIESTE –<\/strong> Croatia has inaugurated the new Zabok-Lu\u010dko main gas pipeline, an \u20ac80 million investment designed<\/strong> to significantly increase gas flows towards Slovenia and strengthen energy security across the region through greater use of the liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal on the island of Krk.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The completion ceremony was held in Zabok in the presence of Croatian Prime Minister Andrej Plenkovi\u0107 and the president of Plinacro\u2019s management board, Ivica Arar.<\/strong> The new connection is considered one of the most important and complex energy projects carried out in recent years within Croatia\u2019s gas transmission system.
\nAccording to Arar, the new infrastructure increases the operational flexibility of the network and makes it possible to raise gas transport towards Slovenia from the current 260 million to 876 million cubic metres per year.<\/p>\n

The project is part of the \u201cSupporting infrastructure for the LNG terminal strategic investment project\u201d. Two other strategic gas pipelines are also at an advanced stage of construction<\/strong> and, once completed, export capacity towards Slovenia will rise to 1.5 billion cubic metres per year, while capacity towards Hungary will reach 3.5 billion cubic metres. The new connections will make it possible to fully exploit the capacity of the Krk LNG terminal and consolidate Croatia\u2019s role in Central European energy flows.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In his speech, Prime Minister Plenkovi\u0107 recalled that Croatia, like other Central European countries, was heavily dependent on Russian gas<\/strong>. The construction of the Krk LNG terminal and the related infrastructure has instead created the conditions for greater energy independence. Plenkovi\u0107 stressed that the expansion of the transmission network was essential to make full use of the terminal\u2019s potential and transform Croatia into a regional energy hub.<\/strong> He also recalled that, through the REPowerEU programme, Plinacro has been allocated a total of \u20ac530 million to upgrade national gas infrastructure.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
