“The winter program on the storage of natural gas has been completed. (…) As opposed to last year, when 70% of gas stored came from imports and only 30% was made locally, this year 63% of gas came from local sources, and 37% from imports,” the ministry said in a news release.

Economy Ministry Ion Ariton met Thursday with the managers of state-owned companies Romgaz and Trasngaz (TGN.RO), to discuss the winter program.

Romgaz stored 2.75 billion cubic meters of gas, out of the 3 billion cubic meters required.
