Romania, Bucharest: Romania plans to operationalize a green electricity transmission cable along the Tuzla–Podisor route.
The route starts at the Black Sea shore to the BRUA natural gas route, then along the natural gas pipeline corridor, to facilitate the east–west transfer of electricity throughout the country, energy minister Virgil Popescu announced on 17 December.
He did not disclose the capacity of the connection, but it is visibly a continuation of the 1 GW Georgia–Romania undersea cable; therefore, must have a similar capacity.
Since last year, the Turkish company Kalyon has been building a natural gas pipeline along the same route (Tuzla-Podsor) for the natural gas transport system operator Transgaz. The pipeline contracted for $339 M (RON 1.6 B) is aimed to bring offshore natural gas from the Black Sea.
“Romania is becoming an important hub in the energy market both in terms of electricity and natural gas. Together with our partners, we will develop the investments in our country, and thus we will ensure the energy security and independence of Romania and the entire region,” emphasized the energy minister.
