The project is among five approved by the EU for support under the Connecting Europe Facility. The expansion is in synergy with the LNG terminal near Alexandroupolis and other projects to improve interconnection with neighboring countries.

The daily capacity will increase from 3.82 million cubic meters to 10 million cubic meters, and the injection capacity from 3.2 million cubic meters to 8 million cubic meters.
