The Ukrainian gas transmission system successfully passed independent stress tests in 2023 and 2024, where a transit halt was simulated. This was reported by the press service of Gast TSO of Ukraine, the national GTS operator.
“During the two independent international stress tests run in 2023 and 2024, various scenarios of GTS operation were simulated, including in the conditions of “zero transit”. The Ukrainian GTS proved its ability to supply gas to consumers in reverse mode,” the press service reported.
The company also noted that the preparation of the GTS for the fall-winter period proceeded in line with the approved plan: scheduled and preventive repairs and internal pipe diagnostics were being carried out, and natural gas was being purchased for internal technological needs.
“The Gas TSO team works 24/7 to ensure that the Ukrainian gas transmission system remains stable and consistent,” the company assured. (Ukrinform)
