Construction of the liquefied natural gas plant began in Greece

A new gas route is being worked on in Europe that will help reduce Russia’s gas dependence.

Greece and Bulgaria have begun construction of a liquefied natural gas (LNG) plant near Greece’s port of Alexandroupolis. It is hoped that this will help create a new gas route to Europe and reduce Russia’s gas dependence. On Tuesday, May 3, according to Reuters.

“Our countries are ready to take on a new decisive role in Europe’s new energy map,” Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis said at an event to mark the start of construction of a floating storage and regasification unit ( FSRU) in Alexandroupoli.

“Moscow’s recent blackmail on natural gas makes this cooperation not only necessary, but also urgent,” he said.

The ceremony was attended by European Council President Charles Michel and the leaders of Bulgaria, Serbia and North Macedonia.

Greece has been supplying gas to Bulgaria since Russia cut it off.

“The Kremlin’s economic blackmail against my country and the European Union will not succeed, because we will oppose it, and today’s event is proof of that,” Bulgarian Prime Minister Kirill Petkov said.

The new FSRU, which is anchored about 18 km (11 miles) from the port of Alexandroupolis and will carry gas to the coast via a 28 km pipeline, is expected to begin operations in late 2023.

It will be able to regasify 5.5 billion cubic meters of LNG annually and store 153,500 cubic meters.

Recall that today the EU announced the sixth package of sanctions against the Russian Federation, which will include restrictions on Russian oil imports.
