"Updated strategies of" GTS operator of Ukraine "(OGTSU) and gas transportation industry accordingly reflect a new operating environment in order to optimize the size of the system and identify alternative sources of gas supply," the document reads. It is noted that these measures are decisive for OGTSU in terms of financial and prompt preparation for preparing for zero transit, when the transit contract expires.
It is also noted that Ukraine will be able to accept 3 billion cubic meters of additional "blue fuel" and store a resource for the needs of the European Union. In addition, the government is going to give up gas imports and 2024, as internal consumption has decreased and production has increased. "For the next heating season of 2024/25, the authorities do not plan additional gas imports for internal consumption, in particular by expanding the production capacity of Naftogaz,-the document reads.
Recall that March 5, Prime Minister Denis Shmigal said that the heating season 2023/2024 Ukraine went with gas of its own production. He noted that one of the factors that helped Ukraine not buy gas abroad was that 2023 "Ukrgasvydobuvannya", Naftogaz's structural unit, launched 86 new wells. Some of which are very powerful. "The second parameter, unfortunately, is the loss of territories together with large industrial enterprises, that is, the loss of industrial consumption," he said.
