The consignment of approximately 100 million cubic metres of gas, or 1 TWh of energy, onboard the Gaslog Savannah arrived at the Revithoussa LNG terminal on Friday morning. D.TRADING, DTEK’s pan-European trading subsidiary, has purchased the entire cargo. Working with Greek and other partners, the LNG will now be re-gasified and exchanged through European Union and Ukrainian gas networks.
The shipment is part of broader efforts to enhance Ukraine and Europe’s energy security by reducing reliance on russian-supplied gas. Its arrival comes just days before Ukraine ends an arrangement transporting russian gas to the European Union via its territory.
russia fired missiles against DTEK power stations in a cynical Christmas Day attack, causing serious damage and forcing Ukraine’s energy system to implement power outages across the Dnipropetrovsk, Odessa and Kyiv regions.
Tragically, updated information reveals that Dmytro Petlenko, a power engineer and boiler-turbine department patrolman at one of DTEK’s thermal power plants, was killed during this morning’s attacks.
DTEK CEO Maxim Timchenko on his LinkedIn:
"There are no depths to which russia will not sink. Denying light and warmth to millions of peace-loving people as they celebrate Christmas is a depraved and evil act that must be answered. We appeal to every ally of Ukraine to end this state-sponsored terrorism now by giving our armed forces the air defence ammunition they need to protect essential energy infrastructure."
