High Norwegian Gas Flows to Europe Set to Stay: Gassco CEO

NATURAL GAS

Norway’s gas export system is set to deliver record volumes of energy to Europe according to the head of pipeline operator Gassco.

  • “We have this summer delivered what we would usually deliver in winter months,” Gassco CEO Frode Leversund said.
  • Deliveries this year have already increased by the equivalent of 60 terawatt hours, or 4.97 billion cubic metres (bcm) of gas, according to Gassco figures.
  • Norway has replaced Russia as Europe’s biggest supplier of gas.
  • Norway is still set to deliver a new annual record of more than 117 bcm of gas through its pipelines in 2022, up from 113.2 bcm last year, the CEO said.
  • A new pipeline connecting Norway to Poland via Denmark, called Baltic Pipe, due to start operations in October, might also lift Gassco’s overall capacity, he added.
