Today, the last segment of the Southern Gas Corridor - Trans-Adriatic Gas Pipeline (TAP), started transporting commercial gas from Azerbaijan. For the first time in history, Azerbaijan s natural gas reached the European market through a direct pipeline connection. Following the start of commercial operations on November 15, 2020, today the first gas has reached Italy, via the Melendugno interconnection point with SNAM Rete Gas (SRG), as well as Greece and Bulgaria, via the Nea Mesimvria interconnection point with DESFA. Azerbaijan gained direct access to the European gas market - the world s largest natural gas importer. For the country, that means an increase in national income, diversification of export routes, and a boost to its economic independence.
