Trans-Mediterranean Pipeline, Gas pipeline network in Sicily and mainland Italy
The Trans-Mediterranean Pipeline extends 2,475 kilometers from Algeria through Tunisia and Sicily to transport natural gas into mainland Italy and Slovenia.
Construction of the pipeline started in 1978 after extensive agreements, with the first phase completion in 1983 and capacity doubling during the second phase in 1994.
The pipeline system represents a major collaboration between North African and European energy sectors, connecting multiple nations through shared infrastructure management.
Nine compressor stations maintain gas flow throughout the system, with specific facilities in Algeria, Tunisia, Sicily, and mainland Italy managing the distribution network.
The pipeline crosses the Mediterranean Sea floor with multiple parallel lines of different diameters, enabling an annual transport capacity of 34 billion cubic meters.
