DESFA

🌍 Advancing an Integrated Regional Gas Market! 🤝At the CESEC Ministerial Meeting in Budapest, #DESFA, along with nine other gas #TSOs from Central and Southeastern Europe, took a significant step forward by signing a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) focused on regional #gasquality harmonization. This collaboration brings together TSOs from #Greece, #Bulgaria, #Romania, #NorthMacedonia, #Croatia, #Moldova, #Ukraine, #Slovenia, and #Hungary to work on a joint approach and action plan to harmonize gas quality requirements at their #InterconnectionPoints across the #CESEC region.🔗 🌐Why does this matter? Harmonizing gas quality is essential for bolstering regional #interconnectivity, supporting #diversification of gas supply sources and enhancing #energysecurity. This unified approach not only enables the full potential of key initiatives such as the #VerticalCorridor but also ensures #interoperability and builds a more #integrated and #efficient regional #energymarket. 🖋️DESFA along with FGSZ Földgázszállító Zrt. coordinated the MoU signing process, with Chief Asset Management Officer, Nikos Katsis, introducing the MoU along with FGSZ  at the ministerial meeting. 🗓️ The TSOs will jointly assess by 30 April 2025 the impact of harmonizing gas quality requirements in the CESEC region on the affected interconnection agreements, and by 30 April 2025 will have to produce an #actionplan containing an estimate of necessary steps and timing for the development of harmonized gas quality requirements.
