At 4:30 AM, the supply of natural gas from Russia to Croatia was interrupted! Ina is calling on all consumers to use gas rationally. After the supply of natural gas from Russia to Croatia was reduced by 18% of the total contracted amount starting from 6 PM yesterday, the supply was completely halted this morning.
Domestic production of natural gas and the quantities in the underground storage facility Okoli cannot meet all of Croatia’s needs. Therefore, reductions in the supply of natural gas to certain categories of customers in the Croatian market are necessary, in accordance with the prescribed order in the regulation on the security of natural gas supply issued by the Croatian Government. In other words, the supply of natural gas to large industrial consumers and HEP has been reduced to a level of 12,000 m3/h, and to other customers directly connected to the transport system to the minimum quantity necessary to maintain the technical characteristics of the facilities, as stated by Ina.
Although households, hospitals, kindergartens, schools, and similar institutions still have priority in the supply on the Croatian market, due to the extremely serious situation, Ina is also calling on these consumers to maximize rational consumption. Thus, the Russian-Ukrainian dispute has also affected us, as well as Bulgaria, Turkey, Greece, and Romania, which have also reported interruptions in their gas supply.
