TAP will initially have a capacity of 10 billion cubic metres (bcm)/year, providing enough energy for as many as 3 million households. The pipeline’s transport capacity can be expanded to 20 bcm/year.

Two compressor stations, one near Thessaloniki, in Greece, and the other one on the Albanian coast, will be used to ensure gas transportation through the pipeline. A third compressor station will be installed later on the Greek-Albanian border to attain the maximum throughput of 20 bcm/year.
