This Action was part of the Project of Common Interest (PCI) 6.4 Bidirectional Austria - Czech interconnection (BACI) between Baumgarten (AT)-Reinthal (CZ/AT)-Břeclav (CZ), which involves the construction of a new gas pipeline of approximately 61 km of length with a transmission capacity of around 18 mcm/day.

In particular, the activities of the Action included the establishment of a business plan, an assessment of market demand, a financial analysis, the performance of a cost-benefit analysis (CBA) and the preparation of a proposal for a cross-border cost allocation (CBCA) decision.

This Action, comprised of activities on both the Austrian and Czech sides, completed the preparatory stage necessary for the future joint investment request.
