The Naftogaz Group has implemented the government-approved plan for gas injection into underground storage facilities by 95-97%.
This was announced by Interfax-Ukraine, citing information from an Energoreforma correspondent from the scene, Ukrainian News Agency reports.
"Within the framework of the plan approved by the Cabinet of Ministers before the start of the autumn winter period, because there are also other tasks, we have implemented it by 95-97%," Serhii Koretskyi, Chairman of the Board of Naftogaz of Ukraine, told journalists after signing a loan agreement with the European Investment Bank for EUR 300 million for the purchase of gas, which took place in Kyiv on Wednesday.
As Koretskyi noted, there is still a little time before the autumn winter period and everything is moving according to plan.
He also assured that the government's task of accumulating sufficient gas in underground storage facilities to last the heating season will be fulfilled.
According to Interfax-Ukraine, citing Energy Minister Svitlana Hrynchuk, Ukraine should accumulate 13.2 billion cubic meters of gas in storage facilities by the beginning of the autumn winter period, 4.6 billion cubic meters of which are imports.
As Ukrainian News Agency earlier reported, the Naftogaz group signed a historic loan agreement with the European Investment Bank (EIB) for EUR 300 million.
