In the second half of December 2021, the transadriatic gas pipeline (TAP) made it possible to export gas, the Italian media write.
“On the last day of 2021, Italy sold 20 million cubic meters of gas abroad, which is about 10% of its net consumption, which on December 31 was 214 million cubic meters. Why Italy, known as major energy importer, can afford to export Gas even in times of rapid increase in prices? This was made possible by commissioning 878-kilometer TAP, which transports about 8 billion cubic meters of gas from Azerbaijan to Apuliation, as well as thanks to the gas storage system in the country, “say Italian publications.
Gas supplies from Azerbaijan to Europe on a transadriatic pipeline (TAP), which is the last link of the Southern Gas Corridor, amounted to 8.1 billion cubic meters for the year. 6.8 billion cubic meters from the total volume of transported natural gas was pumped into Italy, and 1.2 billion cubic meters in Greece and Bulgaria.
Recall that the TAR was put into operation at the end of 2020, through the pipeline Azerbaijani gas for the first time began to be supplied to the markets of Europe.
