France started supplying natural gas to Germany as part of its pledge to ensure EU energy solidarity as Russia reduces exports, the French grid operator GRTgaz said on Thursday.

GRTgaz began modifying its pipeline networks months ago to be able to send gas to Germany.

"It's historic, the first time France is going to deliver gas directly to Germany. Up to now, we were sending it to our neighbor via Belgium," GRTgaz's managing director Thierry Trouve told AFP.

Volumes of gas equivalent to around 31 gigawatt-hours per day began flowing early Thursday. The connection has a maximum capacity of 100 GWh/day, the equivalent output of four nuclear reactors, or 10 percent of the total liquid natural gas France imports daily.
