Brief Project Description

DESFA’s Compressor Station (U-2600) in Ampelia Farsalon, provides the additional compression required for the National Natural Gas Transmission System (NNGTS), to meet the required flowrates and pressures in response to increasing demand and the integration of the TAP pipeline with the NNGTS at Nea Mesimvria.

To ensure the system’s stability and efficiency regardless of users’ entry points, the technical capacity of the NNGTS gradually increases. This Southern Compressor Station, located near the main center of energy demand, enhances network performance and helps prevent congestion, emergencies, and access limitations for new users.

The installation is compatible for operation with Natural Gas-H₂ blends, considering up to 10% hydrogen.

Location : Ampelia, Farsalon in Thessaly, Greece.
