4.3 Estonia
The Estonian gas transmission pipeline is owned and
operated by Elering, the joint transmission system oper-
ator for electricity and gas. Estonian gas transmission
pipeline consists of 885km of transmission pipeline,
three gas measuring stations and 36 gas distribution
stations.
4.3.1 GAS TRANSMISSION NETWORK
Currently the gas transmission network is connected to Russian (at Värska GMS and
Narva interconnection point) and to Latvian (at Karksi GMS) gas networks. Majority
of the pipeline was built 30–60 years ago. A newer branch pipeline to Pärnu was
built ten years ago. Also two parallel pipelines are crossing Estonia in the southeast
area. The parallel pipelines are used for gas transportation between Russia and
Latvia.
Majority of the pipeline is designed to operate at 50 bar (Maximum operating
pressure). Currently only the northern pipeline (connecting Tallinn and Narva inter-
connection point) is limited to 30bar.
During the summer season gas is typically supplied through Värska GMS and Narva
interconnection point. During the winter season gas is typically supplied from
Inčukalns UGS through Karksi GMS and Värska GMS.
