Strengthening European energy security: The Vertical Corridor gas pipeline initiative

The planned Vertical Corridor gas pipeline is a critical component for enhancing European energy security, particularly in light of the EU’s strategy to reduce dependence on Russian gas. The recent workshop in Athens highlighted Greece’s pivotal role in this strategy, showcasing how the corridor will connect gas systems in Greece, Bulgaria, Romania, and Hungary.

This initiative aligns with broader EU goals of diversifying energy sources and achieving full energy independence from Russia by 2027. Ukraine’s Deputy Energy Minister, Mykola Kolisnyk, underscored the importance of the pipeline, confirming Ukraine’s intent to end its gas transit agreement with Russia and emphasizing its capacity to help meet European gas needs.

The renewed cooperation between gas companies from several countries underlines the commitment to developing the Vertical Gas Corridor, promoting better connectivity and market integration in the region. The recent launch of the Greece-Bulgaria interconnection (IGB pipeline) is a significant milestone, enabling direct access to the Trans-Adriatic Pipeline (TAP) and expanding gas transmission capabilities to neighboring countries, including Moldova and Ukraine.

Overall, the Vertical Corridor represents a strategic effort to bolster energy security, enhance competition, and create a more resilient energy landscape in Europe.
