4.2.4 THE CZECH REPUBLIC (CZ)
Under ordinary conditions, the main supply corridor for the Czech Republic has
recently become through Germany via the Nord Stream and OPAL pipelines (at the
figure marked CZ1), followed by the traditional route via Slovakia (marked CZ2).
Another gas supply corridor for the Czech Republic can be made through Germany
from the NetConnect market area (marked CZ3). In case of a gas supply disruption
through Ukraine, the remaining gas in the Czech Republic imported through CZ1
and CZ3 could be used for export to Slovakia, Poland, and Austria (via Slovakia).
Two infrastructure projects are currently planned as a part of the north-south gas
corridor and their realisation would establish a bidirectional connection with Poland
with an enlarged capacity and the first direct bidirectional connection with Austria.
Newly is also planned an extension of the supply corridor from Germany (CZ1).
