4.2.7 ROMANIA (RO)
The following picture shows the main supply corridor for Romania, which under nor-
mal conditions runs through Ukraine (at the figure marked RO1). In case of a total
Ukrainian supply disruption, the other supply corridors for Romania run through
Hungary (marked RO2) and Bulgaria (marked RO3). Romania has a significant in-
digenous production of natural gas which can help to cover domestic consumption
during a gas supply disruption through Ukraine. Three interconnections are planned.
However, just one is planned with a connection into the Romanian gas market
(2024).
