With reference to the press releases published by Ukrainian companies, i.e. Uktransgaz and Naftohaz, on the increased available gas capacity of 6.6 billion m3/year for the Poland-Ukraine interconnection, GAZ-SYSTEM informs that the existing gas infrastructure at the Polish-Ukrainian border does not allow for transmission of such a volume of gas from Poland to Ukraine.

The current gas connection from Poland to Ukraine allows the transfer of up to 2 billion m3 of gas per year on an interruptible conditionally continuous basis.

Providing available capacity of 6.6 billion m3/year requires additional investments in the transmission system managed by GAZ-SYSTEM.

An investment decision in this respect will be made after an appropriate economic analysis, backed up by contractual obligations between the parties.
