Investment costs for 48 inch Yearly volume transported: 20 bcm Capacity@7400 hours LF: 2,7 mln Nm3/h CAPEX per country: 400 km 48 inch pipeline = 800 mln EUR 3 compressor stations ( each 35 MW) = 300 mln EUR Total CAPEX per country = 1,1 billion EUR OPEX per country: OPEX for pipe and compressors = 21 mln EUR/year Fuel cost for compressors = 67 mln EUR/year (7400 running hours per year)
Investment costs for 48 inch (36 inch) Yearly volume transported: 20 bcm (10 bcm) Capacity@7400 hours LF: 2,7 mln Nm3/h (1,35 mln Nm3/h) CAPEX per country: 400 km 48 inch pipeline = 800 mln EUR (560) 3 compressor stations = 300 mln EUR (200) Total CAPEX per country = 1,1 billion EUR (760) OPEX per country: OPEX for pipe and compressors = 21 mln EUR/year (14) Fuel cost for compressors = 67 mln EUR/year (7400 running hours per year) (34)
Investment costs remarks • No overhead costs or general administration only direct OPEX (e.g maintenance and operation) • Costs reflect the range of investment costs of the TSOs in the active group (+/- 40 %) excluding tax • We think more accurate estimation is unnecessary at the moment and also not possible without complex studies taken into account the exact route of the pipeline • Fuel gas at gas price of 25 EUR/MWH • Are two pipeline diameters sufficient?
Investment costs for steps in between • 20 bcm and 10 bcm are at their “limit” • Other options can be expanded with adding Comp Stations
