What is INOGATE

The INOGATE Programme stands for Interstate Oil and Gas Transport to Europe.  INOGATE is an international co-operation programme aiming at promoting the regional integration of the pipeline systems and facilitating the transport of oil and gas both within the greater NIS region and towards the export markets of Europe, while at the same time acting as a catalyst for attracting private investors and international financial institutions to these pipeline projects. 

The INOGATE Programme is funded mainly under the EU’s Tacis Regional Co-operation Programme, which covers primarily the NIS region, and also receives in-kind contributions from participating INOGATE countries.  INOGATE is a complementary programme to other EU-funded programmes which support the development of new energy infrastructure projects through the provision of targeted technical assistance.

INOGATE supports the security of supply of both the EU and the INOGATE Participating Countries by:

  • Enhancing the safety and security of the existing hydrocarbon network
  • Facilitating the extension of the network to reduce bottlenecks and enhance supplies
  • Attracting and facilitating the necessary investments
  • Acting to improve the investment climate
  • Supporting the convergence of the regulatory framework and normative standards of Participating Countries towards those existing in the EU.

It should be highlighted that INOGATE support cannot and does not endeavour to replace the private funding of hydrocarbon networks. INOGATE’s role is to act as a catalyst and facilitator, not investor.
