NABUCCO CONSORTIUM CONFIRMS FIRST GAS WILL FLOW IN 2014
Baku, March 27 (AzerTAc). Nabucco Managing Director Reinhard Mitschek has confirmed the Nabucco timeline, reiterating that first gas will flow in 2014.
“We are aiming to start with the construction at the end of 2011 and we’ll expect first gas to flow at the end of 2014. The Nabucco Consortium has no indication to shift the current timeline.”
Mitschek also stressed, that the Pipeline will be filled stepwise.
“For a large pipeline system like Nabucco it is necessary to raise the capacities stepwise. We’ll start with 8 to 10bcm/y and we need the timeframe from 2014 to 2018 for the construction of additional compressor stations which are the precondition for the plateau level.”
Currently, the pipeline shareholders include OMV Gas&Power, MOL, Transgaz, Bulgarian Energy Holding, BOTAS and RWE.
