The NEL (Norddeutsche Erdgasleitung) is a planned 440 kilometres (270 mi) long natural gas pipeline in Germany.

Route

The pipeline will run from Lubmin near Greifswald to Rehden. It will connect the planned Nord Stream pipeline with the Rehden-Hamburg gas pipeline and MIDAL pipeline. Together with MIDAL it will create a Greifswald-Bunde connection.

Technical features

The diameter of the pipeline will be 1,200 millimetres (47 in).[1] The capacity is planned to be 20 billion cubic meters of natural gas per year.[2] The pipeline is expected to cost around €1 billion.[3]

The developer of the pipeline asked exemption from the network access and transit fees regulation; however, this request was denied.[4]

Project company

The pipeline will be constructed and operated by OPAL NEL TRANSPORT GmbH, a subsidiary of Wingas.[5] 20% of the company is owned by E.ON Ruhrgas.[4] Dutch gas transportation company Gasunie, which also has a stake in the Nord Stream pipeline, will have a 20% stake in NEL reducing stakes of Wingas and E.ON to 70% and 10% respectively.[3]
