Video of the day is known that since 2022 the EU has introduced rigid regulation of the use of underground storage. By the beginning of the selection season in 2022, the reserves should be at least 80% of the PSG capacity, in the following years - 90%. At the last reporting date (August 27), 79. 36%were reserved. The pace of gas pumping this season is well known in previous days and weeks - 0. 3 percentage points on a weekday and 0. 4 pp. on the weekend.

The capacities are declared only one of the two entrance to the GTS of the country - Sudzha gas metering station.

The corridor through the DHW Sokhranivka is not accepted (since the Novopskov compressor station on this section of the gas pipeline is on a temporarily occupied aggressor of the territory). The pumping of gas by the north flow was reduced to 33 million cubic meters per day (at the initiative of Gazprom), although the project capacity is 167 million cubic meters a day. From August 31 to September 2, the highway will completely stop for another prevention.
