Minister-delegate for Energy Razvan Nicolescu said in a press release the Russian Ambassador to Bucharest informed authorities Tuesday lower gas deliveries are due to technical difficulties Gazprom has encountered in stocking up deposits in view of the winter season.
Russian gas imports were 26.7% lower on Tuesday than nominations sent to state-owned natural gas transporter Transgaz Medias.
Beneficiaries of Russian gas are companies Imex, Conef and WIEE.
Russian gas deliveries were lowered starting September, at which time Gazprom offered no warning or explanation.
