(Ticker) – “We will likely end the winter with double the gas inventories. The situation is better than expected because we started from a very high level of inventories, and this has brought us to the current 64%. If this climate continues, we will end the winter with double the gas stored compared to last year”. Claudio Descalzimanaging director of Eniin the press conference that followed the presentation of the Strategic Plan for the period 2023-2026 to the financial community.
“For next year, the regasification terminal is important – he explained – Around 6-7 billion will arrive next year, which will be accumulated by the Piombino regasification terminal, while in 2024 there should be another regasification terminal, perhaps even a third. We must have the gas, but also make sure that there are also regasifiers“.
Descalzi recalled that “the replacement of Russian gas is already taking place, for example by filling storage facilities that were previously empty. Then there is the whole pipeline part, with gas that can arrive, for example, from Norway. Furthermore, North Africa has become essential: L’Algeria is the first supplier, the Libya can increase flexibility andEgypt has provided us with more LNG.”
