Daily gas balancing envisions provision of applications by gas suppliers for gas supplies and provision of applications by consumers for acquisition of gas.

Within the framework of the daily accounting, suppliers daily balances the gas price which is destined to create competition among the suppliers and can entail a decrease in gas prices for consumers.

Besides, according to the report, a list of about 310,000 consumers having no suppliers has been made, of them around 270,000 consumers are within the networks of Luhanskgaz.
