To fill the underground storage facilities, the company is obliged to buy gas from Ukrainian companies. It is necessary to accumulate 19 billion cubic meters.
The government obliged Naftogaz to build gas reserves by purchasing domestic production, the Cabinet of Ministers said in a resolution.
A corresponding change was made in Naftogaz’s ownership policy.
At the same time, the Cabinet of Ministers maintained the task for the company to accumulate 19 billion cubic meters of gas for the heating season. As of August 8, gas reserves reached 12.2 billion cubic meters.
A month ago, Naftogaz said that Ukraine needed $8 billion to reach the targets set by the Cabinet of Ministers. But then a thousand cubic meters of gas cost less than a thousand dollars, and now – more than two thousand dollars.
