(Finance) – “Gas storage is proceeding smoothly according to the plan established by the government in collaboration with the operators and have reached 64% of the planned capacity “. The Ministry of Ecological Transition specifies this in a note.” The reduction of about 30% on gas supplies announced today by Gazprom for Italy it is equivalent in absolute value to about 10 million cubic meters per day, and represents a marginal part of the daily supply total which is amply compensated by the other supplies that the government has secured with the diversification plan carried out in recent months “.
In his note, the Myth specifies that “the plan to diversify gas supplies and achieve energy independence Russian supplies continue according to what has already been announced, thanks to the agreements entered into by the Government and the operators with other countries in recent months, which plan to replace the approximately 30 billion cubic meters annually imported from Russia with about 25 billion imported from other countries “.
According to the dicastery headed by Roberto Cingolani “the reduction of 5 billion cubic meters per year is made possible by strong growth installations of renewable sources and the efficiency and energy saving measures already envisaged by the reduction strategy 55% of CO2 in 2030 compared to 2019 “. The replacement of the approximately 30 billion cubic meters imported annually from Russia, it is recalled, “will take place progressively starting this year with an initial contribution of approximately 6 billion cubic meters from other countries, which will increase to approximately 18 billion in 2023 to stabilize at around 25 billion cubic meters in 2024. About half of the new supplies will be injected into the pipelines, while the other half will be supplied in the form of liquid gas, which will be immediately regasified “. This is why the government’s plan” plans to maximize the use of existing regasifiers and to install two floats by the first quarter of 2023 and the first quarter of 2024 following the progressive growth of new supplies. The punctuality of these installations will be essential to guarantee national energy security. Without prejudice to the situation of international uncertainty, the the government is engaged in constant monitoring of flows and supplies “.
Il Mite also specifies that the Italian government on gas “maintains the pre-alert state necessary for constant monitoring of flows, without any need for emergency measures and a transition to a state of alert “.” The implementation of energy emergency plans with extraordinary saving measures is not envisaged, as erroneously reported from various newspapers today “underlines the ministry led by Cingolani.
