OREANDA-NEWS It will take Italy two years to finally abandon Russian gas, currently 30 billion cubic meters out of 40 billion have been replaced. Claudio Descalzi, CEO of the Italian energy company Eni, called such deadlines in a comment to the newspaper La Stampa, reports TASS.
According to him, the process is not moving so fast because of its own omissions. In the last eight years, domestic production has not been stimulated in Italy, investments in the gas sector have not been promoted, and therefore problems have arisen with gas produced in the country.
Nevertheless, Italy's historical ties with countries such as Egypt, Angola, Algeria, the Republic of the Congo, Mozambique and Libya helped the company, which retained a presence in them, to quickly reduce gas purchases from Russia.
Prior to that, Descalzi pointed out that dependence on Russian gas has actually been overcome, there is no need to talk about new energy disasters in the near future.
Italy continues to buy about 10 percent of gas from Russia. Other European countries have also sharply reduced or completely abandoned Gazprom's supplies.The cost of fuel in Europe this week fell below $ 400 per thousand cubic meters for the first time since November 2021.
