Corinth Pipeworks has announced its participation in the Greece–North Macedonia Natural Gas Interconnector, a milestone project that strengthens regional energy security, enhances cross-border connectivity, and supports the transition to a low-carbon energy future.
The project, jointly developed by DESFA (Greece) and NOMAGAS (North Macedonia), entails the construction of a 123 km pipeline, 55 km in Greece (previously awarded to Corinth Pipeworks) and 68 km in North Macedonia, linking the national natural gas transmission systems of the two countries. This strategic interconnection will enable North Macedonia to diversify its energy sources, reducing dependency on a single supplier, while securing access to Greece’s advanced natural gas transmission network and LNG infrastructure.
Following the successful execution of the Greek section, Corinth Pipeworks has now also been awarded the supply of 28 in. Helical Submerged Arc Welded (HSAW) linepipe for the North Macedonian section of the pipeline by RAPID BILD DOO. All pipes are certified for hydrogen transportation in accordance with ASME B31.12 – Option B, ensuring future readiness for clean energy integration.
“We are shaping the future of hydrogen infrastructure,” said Ilias Bekiros General Manager, Corinth Pipeworks. “This project represents not only an important cross-border collaboration but also a strong step toward decarbonisation and energy resilience in Southeast Europe.”
The Greece–North Macedonia Interconnector is expected to be operational in the 1H27. Adding to the significance of the project, a successful ceremony marking the start of construction works took place on 9 July 2025, underscoring the commitment of all stakeholders to deliver a reliable and future-ready energy corridor.
