Moldova and the United States are advancing plans to develop a
Vertical Gas Corridor capable of transporting Azerbaijani gas
across Eastern Europe, Azernews reports.
The move was discussed by Moldova’s Energy Minister Doreen
Yunghieu and US Energy Secretary Chris Wright, focusing on the
corridor’s future development prospects.
The Vertical Gas Corridor, established in 2016, links Greece,
Bulgaria, Romania, and Hungary, and was expanded in 2024 to include
Moldova and Ukraine. It connects with the Trans-Balkan Gas
Pipeline, enabling gas deliveries from Greece to Moldova and
storage facilities in Ukraine.
The corridor is designed to transport both pipeline gas from
Azerbaijan and liquefied natural gas (LNG), including US-supplied
LNG via the Revithus and Alexandroupolis terminals in Greece,
enhancing energy diversification and security in the region.
This initiative highlights Moldova’s growing role in the
European energy network and the strategic collaboration between
Washington and Chisinau to reduce reliance on traditional Russian
gas supplies.
