Norway goes to help Europe

The Norwegian government will allow the Equinor controlled by the state and its partners to increase gas exports from two marine deposits over the next 12 months amid concerns about the lack of gas in Europe, which led to a sharp price increase.

reports Reuters, earlier today Equinor, the second largest gas supplier to Europe after the Russian Gazprom, said that the government resolves in aggregate to increase gas exports during the year from October 1 to 2 billion cubic meters from the Troll and Sisoverg fields.

The Agency clarifies that such an increase corresponds to almost 2% of the annual export of Norway on pipeline gas.

The price of gas on the Dutch TTF node, which is the European standard, has grown more than three times before a record level. This led to an increase in electricity prices as the winter heating season approached with gas reserves below average.

Earlier it was reported that the Russian concern Gazprom decided not to expand the pumping of “blue fuel” through the gas transmission system of Ukraine. This led to a sharp jump to the gas value of gas in Europe. So, on Monday, the price was fixed at $ 900 per thousand cubic meters
