French-based Engie (formerly GDF Suez SA) from Jan. 1 started natural gas imports to Ukraine, supplying 3.9 million cubic meters to the Ukrainian gas transportation system (GTS) in the first days of the month, the public relations department of PJSC Ukrtransgaz has said.
“According to the report of Engie, the daily volume of gas supplies is nearly 400,000 cubic meters,” reads a press release of the Ukrainian GTS operator.
Ukrtransgaz said these gas volumes are imported from Poland via the Germanovichi gas metering station.
The company noted in the middle of December 2016 Engie successfully conducted tests of natural gas supplies.
As reported, at the end of October 2016 Ukrtransgaz and Engie signed agreements on cooperation in transportation and storage of natural gas in Ukrainian underground gas storage facilities (UGS), whereby Engie gained the possibility to store gas in Ukrainian UGS.
