Naftogaz Group is actively preparing for the upcoming winter by increasing natural gas production volumes and stocks, and by adjusting its infrastructure to wartime conditions.
The relevant statement was made by Naftogaz Group Board Chairman and CEO Oleksiy Chernyshov on the sidelines of the Congress of Local and Regional Authorities under the President of Ukraine.
“Obviously, the next winter is historic for Ukraine in the sense that it will be the most challenging in terms of providing energy, resource and heat. Naftogaz Group is actively preparing for the upcoming winter,” Chernyshov said.
In his words, this winter Ukrainians will be provided with domestically produced gas. Currently, Naftogaz Group’s gas production volumes are 7% higher compared to 2023.
According to Chernyshov, gas prices for household consumers will remain unchanged.
Among other things, Naftogaz Group’s head noted that the accumulation of natural gas is being carried out according to the schedule and the volume of such stocks is continuously growing.
In addition, Chernyshov emphasized that Naftogaz Group was consistently adapting its infrastructure to the challenges related to Russia’s full-scale invasion, conducting necessary repairs and preparing for the future.
“Households must have heating. Our consumers and district heating companies will be provided with the necessary natural gas volumes,” Chernyshov added.
Meanwhile, he called on Ukrainians to check their gas equipment and focus on the energy efficiency of their homes. (Ukrinform)
