Gazprom books no capacity for gas transit across Poland for Tue

MOSCOW, Jan 31 (PRIME) -- Russian gas giant Gazprom did not book capacities of the Yamal–Europe pipeline for gas transit across Poland for Tuesday, according to data of auction platform GSA Platform seen by PRIME on Monday.

The company was to book 89.1 million cubic meters on the entrance to Poland, one of Gazprom’s key routes to Europe, but it did not. Gazprom previously did not book any capacities for Ferbuary.

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