Ribera’s response came minutes after the European Commission created its own profile and French President Emmanuel Macron avoided a confrontation with French President Emmanuel Macron. pipeline to pass Spain and France will double the current flow capacity (7,000 million cubic meters) between the two countries. The vice president admitted “it is hasty to pass judgment” on a final decision but one argued for “more important” discussion, He promised to be a part of it. Extraordinary Council of Ministers The energy held in Brussels this Friday that he hopes will continue. “open” to the interests of “European leaders”.

The vice president framed the debate where there was some controversy in Europe. interconnection targets between countries Spain does not comply and get through construction sooner or later more links. “If it is necessary to move the investment forward, it should be discussed.

It is currently at 82% of gas storage capacity in Europe, meeting Europe’s target. Reach this rate before 1 October To mitigate the impact of the Russian gas cut. In 2023, the target is to be 90% at the beginning of winter. In this sense, it should be noted that the construction of a gas pipeline between Spain and France will not be an instant thing in any case, but rather a matter of putting this infrastructure into operation. will be able to use it very soon for next winter if the decision comes before the end of the yearbecause its making eight months after he started working in the area, According to Enagas. Inside Short termfor the next months, The main solutions the government is working on are two: Increasing the capacity of the gas bridge between Barcelona and Livorno by 30%, as well as the two existing gas pipelines through the Basque Country and Navarra, so that the Catalan capital can receive large gas vessels that can later be sent to Italy.
