ITGI Poseidon Pipeline Project Gazprom, DEPA and Edison sign Memorandum of
Understanding
Feb 24, 2016 + + + Alexey Miller,
Chairman of the Gazprom Management Committee, Marc Benayoun, CEO of Edison
SpA, and Theodoros Kitsakos, CEO of DEPA SA, signed today the Memorandum
of Understanding on natural gas deliveries across the Black Sea from
Russia via third countries to Greece and from Greece to Italy in order to
establish a southern route to deliver Russian natural gas to Europe.
The
signing ceremony took place after the meeting held today in Rome between
Alexey Miller and Federica Guidi, Italian Minister of Economic
Development. The ceremony was attended by Giorgos Tsipras, Greek Foreign
Ministry's Secretary General for International Economic Relations.
The agreement reflects the interest of the parties in the natural gas
supply route across the Black Sea from Russia via third countries to
Greece and from Greece to Italy. In working towards that goal, the parties
are committed to take advantage of the work done by Edison and DEPA within
the ITGI Poseidon project to the fullest extent possible.
“The
expansion of the intra-European gas transmission capacities is an
essential component for enhancing the reliability of gas supply, including
from Russia, to consumers all over Europe,” said Alexey Miller.
“The potential development of a new supply route, that is planned to be
implemented in full compliance with EU laws, will strengthen Italy's gas
supply security as well as its role as an important natural gas supply hub
in Southern Europe, which is in line with the objectives of the National
Energy Strategy,” said Marc Benayoun.
“The revival of the ITGI
Poseidon project improves Europe's energy security with an additional
supply route and enhances the role of Greece as a corridor for natural gas
deliveries from diversified sources and routes,” stated Theodoros
Kitsakos. Source and more information:
