Romania Bans Local Gas Exports Pending Import Diversification
Romanian companies will not be able to export natural gas until import sources are diversified using the current infrastructure, according to a draft amendment to the gas law, approved Thursday in the lower chamber.
The document refers to securing the natural gas supply through “the valuation of locally made gas solely on the local market, until natural gas imports are diversified”.
The current infrastructure does not allow Romania to export gas. Even if Romania has a pipeline connection with Hungary, the pipe can only be used for imports at the moment.
Romania imports natural gas mainly from Russia, through intermediaries, but also from Hungary, which provides minute volumes compared to consumption.
