TAP is ready for commercial operations

TAP AG, the operator of the Trans-Adriatic Gas Pipeline, reported that the Trans-Adriatic Pipeline (TAP), a gas transportation system that will transport Azerbaijani natural gas to Europe, is ready to start commercial operations.

TAP is the part of the Southern Gas Corridor, a project that will transport 10 billion cubic metres (bcm/a) gas to Europe.  The TAP system is designed with the potential to double its throughput capacity to 20 bcm/a. The TAP system operates in line with internationally recognised quality, health, safety and environmental standards.  

The completion of the construction of the pipeline and the commencement of commercial operations are important steps in the commissioning of the Southern Gas Corridor. TAP, as another energy link connecting our country with Europe for a long time, will strengthen Azerbaijan's strategic role in energy security, cooperation and sustainable development.
