The Republic of Moldova and Ukraine contribute to increasing the attractiveness of the natural gas transport corridor Greece-Ukraine

A 100% discount will be applied to the entry and exit tariff at two of the four interconnection points (Grebenyky and Ananiev) of the natural gas transportation system from the Republic of Moldova and Ukraine, under a decision of the Commission for Emergency Situations, approved on Wednesday.

According to the decision, the reduction will be applied to system users who transport natural gas to storage facilities in Ukraine on the route: Causeni – Grebenyky – Ananiev –– Oleksiivka. A similar decision on the same points is expected to be approved in Ukraine on October 9.

These decisions are intended to make the route more attractive, and other actions follow in this regard, reports the Ministry of Energy, in a press release.

We remind you that Energocom piloted the "vertical corridor" of natural gas transport Greece - Ukraine and demonstrated its technical and economic feasibility. The most complicated part of this route concerns the multiple entry-exit points between Moldova and Ukraine, which decrease the competitiveness of the route, both from a logistical and commercial point of view. Moldova and Ukraine are currently collaborating to further simplify this route.
