Hungary FGSZ ready to restart gas transmission to Ukraine from 1 January 2015
FGSZ Ltd interrupted the gas transmission to Ukraine through the separate pipeline from Testvériség (Brotherhood) pipeline on the afternoon of the 25 September this year for an indefinite period, saying it needed its pipeline capacities for raised gas imports as storage facilities were being filled up for the winter.
“The reason for interruption, that according to information received from system users, from the 26th September 2014 gas day onwards the demand for incoming delivery increases significantly. In order to manage the security supply and preserving the network balance, the Beregdaróc network point connection has to be altered to enable all pipelines to be suited for inward transmission," FGSZ said on 25 Sept.
The company said in a statement late on Monday that it is “ready to start transmission of natural gas towards Ukraine" from 1 January 2015.
“FGSZ Ltd provides transmission of natural gas to Ukraine again depending on the relevant technical and commercial conditions, in interruptible way. The reason of the restarted gas transmission is information from network users: the increased demand of gas delivery at Beregdaróc 1400 (UA>HU) network point is not expected. As the result of it is possibility to re-set of Beregdaróc network point according to the conditions prior 25 September 2014," it added.
FGSZ ensured a 6.1 billion m3/year (16.8 million m3/day) capacity for Ukrainian gas deliveries from March 2013 for system users on an interruptible way, depending on technical and commercial terms, i.e. the transmission capacity to Ukraine was not guaranteed, FGSZ explained further.
