b) GALSI interconnection with Corsica
Connecting Corsica to GALSI is part of the last French
Multi-Year Indicative Programme (“programmation
pluri-annuelle d’investissements”), communicated by
the French Government on December 2009.
Feasibility studies were conducted in 2008 and
2009 and an initial project outline was subsequently
drawn up.
Corsica could be connected to GALSI close to its
landfall point, at the Olbia compressor station in
Sardinia.
A 94km-long DN 600 offshore pipeline would
then link Olbia to Porto-Vecchio in Corsica. An
interconnection station would be built in Porto-
Vecchio, where odorisation processes and metering
would be carried out.

Two pipelines would then be laid from the station:
• a land pipeline between Porto-Vecchio and
Bastia through the eastern plain (127km in DN
400);
• a land pipeline between Porto-Vecchio and
Ajaccio through the south of Corsica (103km in
DN 400).
GRTgaz is preparing to connect the island (CYRENEE
project), subject to Final Investment Decision and
timeframe of GALSI.
