A proposed 159km gas pipeline linking Malta to Gela in Sicily has been designed to carry a gas supply either way.
The pipeline will operate in a bidirectional mode and in the future, can be used to supply gas from Malta to Italy, the final Environment Impact Statement for the project reveals.
The pipeline will enable Malta to import natural gas for use in the power stations, replacing the liquefied natural gas storage tanker berthed inside Marsaxlokk Bay.
