Gazele din Neptun Deep ajung în rețea în prima jumătate din 2027. România, pe harta energetică a Europei • Newsweek România

Romania is set to begin extracting natural gas from the Neptun Deep offshore project in the first half of 2027, positioning the country as the largest gas producer in the EU. The project, developed by OMV Petrom and Romgaz, is crucial for regional energy independence and is expected to produce around 8 billion cubic meters annually, covering domestic consumption and enabling exports to neighboring countries. With an investment of approximately 4 billion euros, the infrastructure is advancing rapidly, connecting directly to the national transport system. This development will significantly alter the regional gas market dynamics, especially as the EU seeks to reduce reliance on Russian resources, making Romania a key energy security provider in Southeast Europe. The project is projected to generate over 20 billion euros in revenue for the state budget over 20 years, aiding long-term public finance stability.
