France will launch an abandoned gas pipeline for transporting gas to Germany. Before this, the country has concluded an energy transaction that will save them this winter, writes Reuters.
France fights with a lack of electricity due to high prices for energy resources and disconnects of nuclear reactors. Germany, on the other hand, faced a sharp drop in Russian gas supplies to Europe, this can lead to a deficit in winter.
countries decided to oppose the energy crisis by a united front. French President Emmanuel Macron announced a deal between Paris and Berlin. According to her. France will send gas to Germany through the pipeline in the North-East Administrative Department of Mosel. The country will receive electricity back.
”Germany needs our gas, and we need energy from the rest of Europe, especially from Germany,” said the French leader at a press conference after a telephone conversation on Monday with German Chancellor Olaf Sholts.
The resumed gas pipeline will allow France to supply Germany up to 20 teravat hours (TWCH) of gas from its reserves during the winter, which is equivalent to about 2% of the needs of gas of the largest economy in Europe. Berlin, in turn, will suffish Paris if he encounters a lack of electricity.
