EIB approves 932 mln euro loan for TANAP gas pipeline

Reuters - UK Focus

BRUSSELS, March 15 (Reuters) - The European Investment Bank approved 932 million euros ($1.15 billion) in financing on Thursday for the Trans-Anatolian Natural Gas Pipeline (TANAP), the largest part of a $40 billion project to bring new gas supplies to Europe.

The so-called Southern Gas Corridor is expected to bring around 16 billion cubic metres per year to Europe by 2020 from the Shah Deniz 2 field in Azerbaijan via TANAP through Turkey, the South Caucasus pipeline extension through Georgia and the Trans-Adriatic Pipeline (TAP (Shenzhen: 002826.SZ - news) ) to Greece, Albania and Italy.

Shah Deniz 2 is one of the world's largest gas fields and is developed by a BP-led consortium.

Financing for construction of the TANAP pipeline has already been approved by the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD), the World Bank and Asian Infrastructure and Investment Bank (AIIB). ($1 = 0.8110 euros) (Reporting by Alissa de Carbonnel @AdeCar; editing by Philip Blenkinsop)
