Ukraine has doubled its gas intake from the EU.

Ukraine’s gas transportation system continues to increase its natural gas intake from Europe with further pumping into its underground storage facilities, as countries take advantage of lower gas prices, according to operational data from the Operator of GTS of Ukraine. On October 25 and 26, the application for gas receipts on the country’s western border increased to 21-21.5 million cubic meters per day, compared to about 8-10 million cubic meters last week and 3 million cubic meters in the first half of October. During October 1-25, 188 million cubic meters of gas arrived in Ukraine from Poland, Slovakia, and Hungary. The head of Ukrtransgaz, Serhiy Pereloma, reported on October 21 that the volume of gas stored by non-residents in Ukraine’s PSG who are utilizing the customs warehouse model has increased sevenfold since the beginning of October.
