Technical features

The starting point for the sea section of the NEGP will be a coastal compressor station, which will be built in Portovaya bay (near Vyborg in the Leningrad Region).

Gas pipeline offshore section from Vyborg to Greifswald will be 1,200 km long, with 1,219 mm in diameter and a 210 atm working pressure. Rated capacity of the North European gas pipeline will be 55 bcm. In the first stage, one leg with an annual capacity of about 27.5 bcm will be built. The project envisages laying a second pipeline, which will raise the pipeline capacity twice, up to 55 bcm annually.

To connect the NEGP to the United Gas Transmission System of Russia, construction of the new Gryazovets-Vyborg pipeline via the Vologda and Leningrad Regions is planned. Launching this gas pipeline will help meet the growing gas demand in St. Petersburg and the Leningrad Region.

Estimated total investment into implementing the project will exceed EUR 4 bln.
