Hungarian gas deliveries to Ukraine resume, says local operator
Budapest, January 10 (MTI) – Hungary resumed gas deliveries to Ukraine on Saturday, Ukraine’s gas transmission system operator Ukrtransgaz said on its website.
Supply was restored at 11am, the company said. A daily 2.7 million cubic metres of gas will be imported, it added.
Last year, Ukraine imported a total of 600 million cubic metres of gas from Hungary, Ukrtransgaz noted.
Hungarian pipeline operator FGSZ decided to suspend gas deliveries to Ukraine on September 25, 2014, in order to top up domestic reserves.
Prime Minister Viktor Orban said the following day that the filling of Hungary’s gas stores would be accelerated, noting an agreement with large-scale deliveries from Gazprom had been reached. He said Hungary had to be prepared for the possibility of a shutdown of the pipeline on its border with Ukraine through which it gets deliveries of Russian gas.
