France begins direct gas shipments to Germany: operator

Part of its pledge to ensure EU energy solidarity

13 October, 15:40
(ANSA-AFP) - PARIS, OCT 13 - France has started sending natural gas to Germany as part of its pledge to ensure EU energy solidarity as Russia reduces exports after its invasion of Ukraine, the French network operator said Thursday. GRTgaz began modifying its pipeline networks months ago to be able to send gas to Germany, whose economy relies heavily on Russian exports that Moscow has slashed in response to Western sanctions. For decades, the French network was designed only to receive gas from eastern Europe. (ANSA-AFP).
