Brussels is studying oil&gas alternatives within the EU Repower, the Community Executive’s roadmap, to alleviate the energy crisis. For the first time the European Commission has considered the construction of a gas pipeline between Spain and Italy under the Mediterranean Sea, of about 700 kilometers. This project would require an investment of between EUR 2.5 billion and EUR 3 billion, and its construction would take between one and two years. The gas pipeline between Barcelona and Livorno is considered a second alternative to be able to supply both Italy and the countries of central and northern Europe. This project would give a certain economic return to Spain and could make France reconsider also the resumption of the construction of the Midcat.
