Russian Gas Reaches Europe
European countries reported deliveries of Russian gas via Ukraine on Wednesday after Gazprom resumed shipments the day before
E.ON Ruhrgas, the gas unit of Germany's largest utility, is getting complete volumes of gas, the company said Wednesday. The country had drawn fuel from stockpiles the past two weeks to meet demand.
Russian gas entered Slovakia on Tuesday morning, Economy Minister Lubomir Jahnatek said. Slovakia had curbed gas consumption for industrial users during the crisis, leading to output cuts at companies including carmakers. Czech gas trader RWE Transgas received deliveries last night, RWE spokeswoman Annett Urbaczka said Wednesday.
Gas reached the Austrian border Tuesday, Economy Minister Reinhold Mitterlehner said in Vienna. Austria gets 51 percent of its gas from Russia, according to OMV, the country's biggest oil and gas company. Hungary registered the arrival of supplies on Tuesday afternoon, Edina Lakatos, a spokeswoman for gas-network operator FGSZ, said in an e-mail.
