Major bottlenecks of gas infrastructureMajor bottlenecks of gas infrastructure
� Investigations on natural gas sources in Moldova are not performed fully
� Dependence on one source stresses the need for a alternative gas pipe source through Romania, that would allow us to:
- use the gas storage facilities from Romania
- Import natural gas from Romania
- Participate in European gas projects (for ex. Nabucco)
� Increase of gas transportation safeness from Russia to EU;
� Improve of gas consumption metering and usage (energy efficient equipment).
