Eni CEO Claudio Descalzi said Thursday
that Italy should have enough gas to make it through the winter,
despite uncertainty about supplies from Russia, unless a major
unforeseen event occurs.
"Russian gas has effectively been replaced (by supplies from
other countries). Our stocks are full," Descalzi told a webinar
organized by daily newspaper Il Messaggero.
"The Russian gas that is still coming, 10-15 million cubic
metres a day, is constant.
"We can be tranquil about the winter because of these
conditions.
"But the system is at full stretch because there isn't the
Russian gas to give it stability.
"There could be technical problems with the supplier countries,
a colder winter than the statistical level for the last four
years.
"Efficiency has increased recently and gas consumption and
decreased by 10-15%.
"We mustn't be pessimistic but realistic".
