The planned Nabucco gas pipeline will be ready for operation
from 2014 as previously announced, the consortium behind the
project said Thursday.
"The time schedule remains unchanged. Start of construction will
be ready for the first gas deliveries in 2014," the consortium,
Nabucco Gas Pipeline International GmbH, said.
The statement follows a report by Sueddeutsche Zeitung Thursday
quoting European Energy Commissioner Guenther Oettinger as saying
completion of the pipeline will be delayed at least until 2018.
"This must be a misunderstanding, because we expect to reach the
maximum capacity by 2018," the consortium said.
The Nabucco pipeline is expected to be 3,300 kilometers long and
to transport up to 31 billion cubic meters of natural gas to Europe
from the Caspian region, bypassing Russia and thereby reducing
Europe's energy dependence on Russia.
The consortium includes Germany's RWE AG, Austria's OMV AG,
Turkey's Botas, Hungary's MOL Nyrt., Romania's Transgas and
Bulgaria's Bulgargas.
