Gas market: The President of the Energy Regulatory Office (URE) approves an incremental capacity project for the Poland-Ukraine interconnections
The President of the Energy Regulatory Office (URE) reviewed the application of Gas Transmission Operator Gaz-System and approved incremental capacity project proposals for the Poland-Ukraine interconnections[1] (direction from Poland to Ukraine). The solutions envisaged in the document have been consulted with the Ukrainian regulator – The National Energy and Utilities Regulatory Commission of Ukraine (NEURC).
The relevant capacity at the level of 3,095,890 kWh/h/y will be made available to the market as of the 2030/2031 gas year and will be offered in a yearly capacity auction for a period of 15 years.
The details of this and other decisions of the regulator concerning gas interconnections can be found in a dedicated section of the URE’s website.
