The Albania-Kosovo* Gas Pipeline (ALKOGAP) aims to interconnect the existing and planned gas transmission system of Albania (including the Trans-Adriatic Pipeline and Ionian-Adriatic Pipeline) with the future projected gas transmission system of Kosovo and transmission interconnectors which are a part of the eastern branch of the Energy Community Gas Ring (ECGR). The investment aims to establish a new supply route for natural gas from the Middle East and the Caspian Region through Albania towards Kosovo as a first step, and, possibly in the future, to continue to other Western Balkans economies.
This WBIF technical assistance grant has financed the preparation of the Pre-feasibility study for the Albania-Kosovo Gas Pipeline.
