Transgaz reached an historical minimum value of 0.49% of the share of the technological consumption of the circulated gas, similar to the top transmission system operators of the European Union.

Transgaz published an announcement on the Bucharest Stock Exchange regarding the technological consumption of the circulated gas. Following the conclusion of the gas balance for 2019, the total gas consumption recorded in the NTS was at the level of 65.2m cm being thus the first time when such percentage decreases below 0.5% reaching an historical minimum value of 0.49% of the total circulated gas, comparable to the one of the top transmission system operators (TSO) of the European Union.

In order to reach such performance, as of 2013, the company’s private management has prepared, approved and implemented several programs of measures for reducing technological consumption.

The impact of the implementation of the measures consisted in the reduction in the total gas consumption of the NTS and the achievement of considerable savings to the company’s budget, therefore in 2019 a saving in the amount of 16m cm gas was recorded as compared to 2018 (65.2m cm natural gas technological consumption in 2019 as compared to 81m cm technological consumption in 2018). Gas consumption in the NTS has been permanently reduced from 3.12% in 2001 to 0.49% in 2019, such level representing the historical minimum value being similar to the one registered by the top TSOs of the European Union.
