Planned start of operation: 2006 2. Interconnector Greece – Italy (IGI project)

Pre-feasibility study figures

1st phase (up to 2 bcm gas to Italy): 280 km pipeline between Trikala andStavrilimenas 224 km off-shore pipeline between Stavrolimenas and Otranto Italy

2nd phase (up to 4 bcm gas to Italy): 215 km doubling pipeline between Komotini and Karperi

3rd phase (up to 8 bcm gas to Italy): –95 km doubling pipelinebetween Karperi and Trikala

Budget: 1242.8 mill. ¼.

Funding: Provisional financing from CSF III (EU) for Greece ACCOMPLISHMENTS UP TO NOW

9 Prefeasibility study completed in Mid-2003 9 Application for financial aid for feasibility study under the TEN – ENERGY PROGRAMME. 9 Award of technical feasibility study. Execution in progress. Joint cooperation DEPA, EDISON, BOTAS. 9 Procedures for awarding the economic/financial study.

NEXT STEPS 9Completion of feasibility study by late summer 2004 9 Signing of commercial agreement and final investment decision

Planned start of operation: End of 2007 IGI Pre-feasibility Study

The pre-feasibility study included the following activities:

¾ Italian Market Assessment { Definition of the gas volumes to be imported through the IGI { Assessment of a benchmark border price to the Italian market ¾ Technical Pre-feasibility { Definition of the needed infrastructures to transport the required gas volumes { Assessment of the investments on the Turkish, Greek and offshore sections of the gas axe ¾ Economic Pre-feasibility { Assessment of the competitiveness of the gas imported through the proposed route Following activities

IGI Feasibility Study ¾ Technical { Technical and economical evaluation of pipeline alternatives { Assessment of IGI Investment Cost (+/- 20 %) { Review of Investments required in the Turkish grid { Preliminary survey of pipeline route { Engineering of selected configuration

¾ Financial { Development of a financial model to assess the economic viability of the project { Definition of possible corporate structures for project construction and operation { Definition of preliminary financial plan to analyse different debt funding options

Proposal to the EC for financial aid On April 2003 DEPA and EDISON have presented to the EC, within the TEN Program, a Proposal for the financing of the feasibility study phase 3. West Balkan pipeline project

Aims to transit gas to the West Balkan region and possibly, thereafter to E.U.

Signing on April 8, 2003 in Thessaloniki a protocol by DEPA and BOTAS with the respective organizations of FYROM, Albania Yugoslavia, Bosnia/Herzegovina, Croatia, Slovenia.

The scope of the protocol provides for the initiation of a joint cooperation among the parties to study, evaluate and implement an alternate gas transport routing.
