Gazprom books no Yamal–Europe transit capacity for Wed

MOSCOW, Feb 15 (PRIME) -- Russian gas giant Gazprom did not book capacities of the Yamal–Europe pipeline for gas transit across Poland for Wednesday, auction platform GSA Platform said on Tuesday.

At the same time, the company raised orders for transit through the Ukrainian system to 105.5 million cubic meters for Wednesday from 69.8 million cubic meters on Tuesday, according to the Operator of Gas Transmission System of Ukraine.

The Yamal-Europe pipeline, along with Nord Stream and Ukraine’s gas transportation system, is one of the key routes for Russian gas delivery to Europe. The 2,000-kilometer pipeline runs through Russia, Belarus, Poland and Germany and can pump 33 billion cubic meters of gas a year.

A long-term transit contract between Gazprom and Poland via the Yamal-Europe pipeline ended in 2020, and Gazprom started booking capacity at auctions.
