Energocom started to store natural gas in warehouses in Romania
As of today, Energocom has started storing natural gas in warehouses in Romania. The information was confirmed for Agerpres by the general director of Transgaz, Ion Sterian. However, he did not specify the volume of the gas.
We remind that the stocks of natural gas procured for the cold season are stored in Ukraine and Romania, because the costs are lower, said previously the director of Energocom, Victor Bînzari for our radio station.
Since the beginning of the war in Ukraine, the Russian Federation has reduced the supply of natural gas to our country. In order to ensure the creation and maintenance of security stocks, it was decided that the Joint Stock Company "Energocom" should conclude the necessary agreements and contracts with the operators of storage depots in neighboring countries, including the member states of the European Union.
We remind that Energocom announced that it is preparing for the 2023 - 2024 heating season. According to the company's director, Victor Bînzari, in June and July, 300 million cubic meters of natural gas were procured for current consumption, but also for storage. They will be stored in Ukraine.
In May, Energocom announced that it still has about 150 million cubic meters of natural gas in stock out of the total of 600 million procured in 2022, which is about 10 percent of the resources consumed during the cold period of the year.
