Natural gas operators from Bulgaria, Greece, Romania, Moldova, and Ukraine have taken a significant step towards enhancing energy diversification. They agreed on new tariffs with the European Commission to boost the Greece-Ukraine gas corridor's competitiveness.
The Vertical Gas Corridor aims for bi-directional gas transmission between countries, first conceived in 2016 by Greece, Bulgaria, Romania, and Hungary, with Ukraine and Moldova joining in 2024.
During the transition period until new products launch in 2026, existing options will remain available to ensure Ukraine's energy security. The initiative underscores strategic regional energy infrastructure amid Europe's current energy challenges.
