Prokopiv called the conditions for the creation of a gas hub in the country.

To create a gas hub in Ukraine, it is necessary to revise the storage tariffs and the cut-off point. This today during the Second Polish-Ukrainian Gas Conference was announced by the Deputy Minister of Energy and Coal Industry of Ukraine Igor Prokopiv.

"We have one of the lowest tariffs for gas storage - it needs to be raised to the European level," Prokopiv said..

At the same time in Ukraine, the tariff for the tapping point remains one of the highest. As the Deputy Minister says, it also needs to be revised.

"This also rested with the court in Stockholm and was caused by the accelerated monetization of the gas transportation system until 2019.

I think in the near future tariffs will reconsider - and we will be competitive, "Prokopiv said..

Recall, on May 31, the Stockholm Arbitration announced a closed decision on mutual claims of Gazprom and Naftogaz,. This decision was the first of several expected.

Now the parties are expecting a financial explanation from Stockholm. The amounts that the parties will have to pay each other on the basis of the decision of the Stockholm Arbitration are calculated separately by experts.
