GRIP CEE 2017 / Main Report

4.2.7 ROMANIA (RO)

The following picture shows the main supply corridor for Romania, which under nor- mal conditions runs through Ukraine (at the figure marked RO1). In case of a total Ukrainian supply disruption, the other supply corridors for Romania run through Hungary (marked RO2) and Bulgaria (marked RO3). Romania has a significant in- digenous production of natural gas which can help to cover domestic consumption during a gas supply disruption through Ukraine. Three interconnections are planned. However, just one is planned with a connection into the Romanian gas market (2024).
