Abstract

The European Union (EU) is expected to be increasingly dependent upon non-EU primary energy resources as domestic resources are depleted. Ukraine is the largest country in the world by the volume of gas transit: Annually through the Ukrainian gas pipeline the transit gas deliveries amount to 140 billion m 3 including 120 billion m 3 to countries of Central and Western Europe. Ukraine also has an underutilized 750 kV transmission line that reaches into the heart of the neighbouring EU member Hungary. This high-level natural gas transportation infrastructure and the existence of major electricity transmission lines results in Eastern Hungary being a key location for a 2,400MW Combined Cycle Gas Turbine (CCGT) plant. A large CCGT power plant usinig the best available technology in this region would not only benefit from existing infrastructure but also provide electricity for the Central and Eastern European (CEE) region, and may supply the impetus for major regional development initiatives.(1)
