Plinacro is a natural gas transmission system operator in Croatia.

History

Plinacro was founded on 1 February 2001 as a subsidiary of INA. Since March 2002, Plinacro is a fully state-owned company.[1]

Operations

Plinacro operates 2,548.66 kilometres (1,583.66 mi) of high pressure gas pipelines. On 3 March 2009, Plinacro signed an agreement with FGSZ Zrt, a subsidiary of MOL Group, to build a 294-kilometre-long (183 mi) 6.5 billion cubic metres (230 billion cubic feet) natural gas interconnector between Croatia and Hungary, which would allow two-way shipments after the Adria LNG terminal is built on the island of Krk.[2] Plinacro was also invited to the consortium building Adria LNG terminal.[3][4] After failure of Adria LNG terminal, Plinacro participated in LNG Hrvatska project where they own 16% of stocks.[5]

Plinacro is participating in the work of creation of the New European Transmission System, a project to unite Central and South Eastern Europe's natural gas transmission networks.[6]

In January 2009, it was decided that Plinacro will buy the Okoli gas storage facility from INA as a result of the INA's takeover by MOL.[7][8]
