What Governmental authorisations (including any applicable environmental authorisations) are required to construct and operate natural gas transportation pipelines and associated infrastructure?
According to ANP Ordinance 170/1998, the construction and operation of gas (including LNG) pipelines involves a two-fold licensing process: (i) ANP first grants a Construction License (“AC”) – upon the issuance of the environmental construction license by the environmental authorities, and presentation of developer’s tax and financial good standing certificates; which is then followed by (ii) the issuance of an operation license (“AO”) upon the presentation by the developer of the relevant commissioning certificate and the related environmental operation license.
