Ukrzaliznytsia to buy natural gas from Ukrnafta
KYIV. Feb 27 (Interfax-Ukraine) – JSC Ukrzaliznytsia on Monday signed an agreement on the purchase of gas with the state company Ukrnafta, in particular, 8 million cubic meters will be supplied through it in March.
“Direct contracts with producers are our vector for developing relations in strategically important purchases. Today we have not only an adequate and favorable price for gas, but also the most transparent contract between two companies that are owned or managed by one owner – the state,” Ukrzaliznytsia quotes its board chairman Oleksandr Kamyshin.
“Ukrnafta, the national mining company, has sufficient reserves in storage and can offer the required volumes, the best price and convenient supply conditions,” Serhiy Koretsky, director of Ukrnafta, commented on the conclusion of the agreement on Facebook.
Yevhen Liaschenko, member of Ukrzaliznytsia board, clarified that the price of gas supplies by Ukrnafta in March is 23% less than the current price of traders trading at an open and competitive auction, which would save UAH 47 million in March alone.
Taking into account the declared volume of purchase – 8 million cubic meters – this leads to the purchase price of about UAH 19,700 per 1,000 cubic meters.
According to Koretsky, it is planned to expand bilateral cooperation between the companies in order to meet the maximum needs of railway workers.
