Dear Milosz and Adam,
Thank you for your cooperation and support in our process for completing the PS-CBA data and submitting it in due time on the 16th of June. Following our call, the other promoters part of the Southern Gas Corridor agreed with the approach proposed by TAP on submitting the Capex and Opex data. More specifically, due to confidentiality concerns, each project promoter is currently gathering its information and it will send it individually to you this evening or tomorrow morning at the latest. We would highly appreciate if you would circulate the aggregated numbers back to us on Friday morning at the latest so that we can easily make our final submission on Friday afternoon.
Furthermore, as you have probably already noted, we would kindly ask you to pay attention to the Economic template files you would receive and, when preparing the aggregated version of the file, please delete the formula for the aggregated numbers in the tables listed in the b.1 section (project group). If the formula is left in, each promoter can identify the other promoters’ confidential data (this would come against the whole purpose of this exercise).
With regard to the projects considered in Group SGC_01, we would like to highlight that the status of the South Caucasus Pipeline Future Expansion (SCPFX), Trans Anatolian Natural Gas Pipeline Project (TANAP) and TAP projects have reached a more advanced stage of development than the status of the Trans-Caspian pipeline. SCPFX, TANAP and TAP consider that Trans-Caspian Pipeline’s different stage of development impacts negatively
This is not TAP’s unilateral decision, but it has been agreed with SCPFX and TANAP. Therefore, we kindly ask the Commission to prepare two scenarios on the aggregated numbers, i.e. with and without the Trans-Caspian Pipeline. We envisage that this promoter would send its data separately and on its own. The aggregated submission on Friday would be submitted only on behalf of SCPFX, TANAP and TAP.
Thank you for your understanding, we appreciate the Commission’s help on this. Please let us know whether you have any comments and/or questions.
Kind regards,
Simina on behalf of TAP, SCPFX and TANAP
