Ukraine has already pumped 80-90% of the planned volumes of gas, but still has to import 1-2 billion cubic meters of fuel in the EU worth $ 0.5-1 billion.
About it reports Reuters.
It is now known that there are 11-12 billion cubic meters of gas at the target level in the underground storage facilities. m,
At the same time, increased strikes of the Russian Federation on energy infrastructure reduce production and carry the risk for storage – in the event of new damage, the target repository levels can be viewed.
Due to Russian shelling last winter, gas production fell by about 0.5 billion cubic meters. m, so individual experts consider it optimal to have 14 billion cubic meters. m at the beginning of the heating season.
In addition, against the background of Russian attacks, imports are safer than gas storage in Ukraine, despite the presence of 30 billion cubic meters in Europe. Last year, Western companies kept up to 3 billion cubic meters. m in Ukrainian storage, but this year – zero because of the increased threat.
The main import flows of gas to Ukraine are coming from Hungary, and supply through Poland is increasing. Existing infrastructure allows Ukraine to import more than 60 million cubic meters of gas a day – it is enough to block peak demand. Poland plans to double the bandwidth to Ukraine up to 4 billion cubic meters per year by early 2026. Routes for American LNG through Germany, Greece, Lithuania and Poland are also being prepared.
Recall that Naftogaz and the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development have signed a record for Ukraine for 500 million euros for Ukraine.
