Study
Unlocking Trans-Balkan Pipeline System
This study underscores the strategic potential of the reopened Trans-Balkan Pipeline (TBP) as a vital north-south corridor for delivering LNG, Caspian gas, and hub-based volumes into Ukraine, Moldova, and beyond. It also offers a timely and relevant input for developing a compliant, coordinated solution ahead of the next gas year. Yet capacity remains underused due to high transport costs, regulatory and tariff unpredictability, lack of firm capacity at key points, and fragmented, uncoordinated access rules.
