The meeting participants stressed that the UGS facility greatly contributed to securing reliable gas supplies to Western Europe, inter alia, via the Nord Stream gas pipeline.
VNG business activities involve natural gas import, underground storage and supply to consumers in Germany’s eastern federal lands and Berlin. The company’s shareholders are EWE holding 47.9 per cent, Wintershall Holding – 15.79 per cent plus one share, VNG VUB – 25.79 per cent less one share, Gazprom – 10.52 per cent.
