The filling rate of natural gas deposits has reached the level of 79 pct and by the end of the week it will exceed the threshold of 80 pct, Energy Minister Virgil Popescu announced on Wednesday at the briefing at the end of the government sitting.
"I want to tell you that today (Wednesday, ed. n.) we have reached a level of over 79 pct of the gas stock in deposits and we estimate that by the end of the week it will exceed the threshold of 80 pct, the minimum threshold approved in the new regulation of the European Commission. That Romania, as I told you before, taking into account also the production and consumption profile, is on a schedule and on an accelerated trend of growth and preparation for the winter programme," the Energy minister said, told Agerpres.
