New capacity for gas exports from France to Germany will be available from mid-October, France’s gas network operator said Wednesday, as Europe’s energy system is rejigged following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

“Historic gas flows from the east have been reversed under the effect of the war in Ukraine,” operator GRTgaz said in a statement.

It added that the firm “is working on adapting its network to develop new capacity for export from France to Germany, which will be available from mid-October.”
