GERMANY’S RWE is planning to build an Euro80-million gas pipeline to connect its Czech network with Austria, the arrival point for new strategic gas links to Europe, its Czech subsidiary ahs confirmed. “The project is currently in the planning phase and we are in talks with OMV, who will be our partner in this project,” RWE Transgas Net spokeswoman Jitka Kadava said.
Ms Kadava went on: "It depends on Nabucco, and we are also mapping traders' interest. We would like to know how to proceed with this project this year," she said. The proposed 60-km LBL pipeline will link the Czech Republic to Austria's Baumgarten, one of the major hubs in Central and Eastern Europe where the planned Nabucco and South Stream pipeline projects will terminate. RWE Transgas Net's director, Thomas Kleefuss, is reported as saying recently that he hoped gas will flow through the line in three years.
