Renouvellement Capens Pamiers (RCP)

Nearly 55 km long, the pipeline linking the communes of Capens (Haute-Garonne) and Pamiers (Ariège) is one of the oldest pipelines in the Teréga grid, constructed in the late 1940s. Given the technical and regulatory developments since then, it has been decided to modernise and adapt the natural gas grid between those two communes.

2020-2021

Historically, the pipeline connecting the communes of Capens (Haute-Garonne) and Pamiers (Ariège) was one of the first natural gas pipelines brought into service in the South-West in 1947 following the discovery of the Saint-Marcet gas deposit in Haute-Garonne. Given the technical and regulatory developments since then, Teréga decided to modernise and adapt the natural gas grid between those two communes. The RCP is a project of common interest.

Goals

  • Modernising and adapting the natural gas grid between Capens and Pamiers, aiming for the route which is most favourable to the regions
