Havrilet: the construction of a gas transport pipeline Ungheni – Kishinev could be done with EU funds

December 23, 2015

The construction of a gas pipeline Ungheni-Kishinev is costly, and from the point of view of the risk analysis, the project is nonfeasable for a commercial company, so that it should be done on European funds, appreciated on Wednesday the chair of the National Authority for Regulation in Energy (ANRE),Niculae Havrilet. ‘ The construction of a pipeline to link Ungheni and Kishinev is an ample investment element, very costly and generally hard to recover, when it is done out of a company’s money. That is why, for commercial companies which are interested to invest, from the risk analysis, it is clear that such a project is non-feasable, although it is important to access structural funds, European funds, funds for joint interests. Thus, in Moldova, there is a network of transport, the network through which gas is handled now. The doubling of this network with a new pipeline would produce a risk for investment, both for those who invested in the existing pipeline, and for those who would invest in a new pipeline’ Havrilet said, while he was at the launching of the report Expert Forum regarding the interconnection of the gas market and the deregulation of the energy market. According to Havrilet, the Ungheni area has few consumers and only through the construction of a new pipeline to link it to Kishinev, region with important consumption in Moldova, we could consider that export to the Republic of Moldova becomes a significant one and can ensure the independence from Russian gas. ‘I think, however, that it is important to link Romania to Moldova to ensure the independence, so that we see the necessary level of investments, the risk of not recovering the investments and the fact that the new pipeline should be integrated in the transport system of the Republic of Moldova’ the ANRE representative said.
