RWE Transgas Net, a Czech unit of Germany's energy firm RWE , is considering a new gas pipeline linking two points at the German border...

...through the Czech Republic, the daily Hospodarke Noviny said on Monday.

The new link would connect existing pipelines at the northern Czech border crossing at Hora Svate Kateriny with another pipeline at Waidhaus in on the German side of a crossing in south-western Czech Republic.

The 15 billion crown ($719.4 million) project would be part of a network transporting Russian gas brought through the Nord Stream pipeline, being built from Russia to Germany under the Baltic Sea.

In the Czech Republic, RWE Transgas Net transports Russian gas from the Slovak border in the east through a pipeline that forks into two branches going to Germany at Hora Svate Kateriny and Waidhaus.

An RWE Transgas Net spokeswoman was not immediately available for comment.
