February 17, 2026 - As Russia’s energy squeeze has left many pipelines running through Europe underused, liquefied natural gas (LNG) is emerging as the key alternative to meet European demand. In this market, Greece is seeking to secure a substantial share, leveraging its geographical location and its existing — and expanding — infrastructure. Central to this strategy is the so-called Vertical Corridor, the pipeline network linking the country’s two LNG terminals — the FSRU (Floating Storage and Regasification Unit) in Alexandroupolis and the LNG terminal in Revithoussa — with the interconnected gas systems of Bulgaria and Romania, allowing volumes to be transported as far as Ukraine.

September 11, 2025 - Thanks to its strategic location at the crossroads of Europe, Asia, and the Eastern Mediterranean, Greece serves as a natural gateway for energy flows into the wider region. Through existing and planned infrastructure — such as the Revithoussa LNG terminal, the Alexandroupolis FSRU, and interconnections with neighbouring countries — Greece is positioning itself as a key entry point for both natural gas and, in the near future, hydrogen. By feeding these supplies into the Vertical Corridor, Greece not only strengthens its own energy security but also helps stabilise and diversify the energy mix for partners further north.

It diversifies supply routes and sources through Greece by linking with complementary supplies from the Caspian Region, the Middle East and the East Mediterranean through existing and new terminals in Greece and Turkey. In addition, the pipeline helps improve security of supply and avoids supply disruptions by being interconnected with the other gas transmission systems in the region. These connections in turn provide access for the south-east Europe markets to the Southern Corridor; enable Ukraine and Central Europe to access the corridor; and contribute to the implementation of a vertical corridor sponsored by the EU within the Central and South Eastern European Gas Connectivity framework.
