United States supports the "Vertical Corridor" for gas transport through Romania
The United States of America has officially expressed its interest in the energy project known as the "Vertical Corridor." This strategic natural gas transport route is intended to connect Greece with Bulgaria, Romania, Hungary, and Slovakia, thereby facilitating the diversification of energy sources in the region.
Romania's Minister of Energy confirmed the importance of this project for the country's energy security. Through the "Vertical Corridor," natural gas can be transported from liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminals in Greece to markets in Central and Eastern Europe, utilizing both existing and future infrastructure.
This initiative is considered essential for reducing energy dependence on traditional suppliers. The participation of the United States underscores Romania's geopolitical importance in this route, with our country becoming a key point in the transit of gas to neighboring states.
The project will not only improve energy flow but will also contribute to price stability in the regional market. Romanian authorities are continuing discussions with international partners to finalize the necessary infrastructure investments so that the corridor can become fully operational as soon as possible.
