On April 6, the minister of energy of Moldova Viktor Parlikov held talks in Athens with the head of the Greek state gas and electricity distributor Energocom Victor Binzar. Within 2 years, Moldova plans to abandon the import of Russian gas completely, and Energocom presents a much better alternative. Notably, this framework agreement involves the trans-Balkan gas pipeline and underground gas fields of Ukraine in its logistics to Central Europe.
"Energocom's experience last season in using the Greece-Bulgaria interconnector showed the possibility of using the trans-Balkan gas pipeline in a reversible mode," Viktor Parlikov.
Greece is consolidating its position as a powerful energy provider: 1 liquefied natural gas terminal is already operating there, and a 2nd one will be launched by the end of 2023.
