The planned repair works were already agreed on December 3, 2021, when they were published on the website of JSC “Conexus Baltic Grid”, as well as on the website of ENTSOG Transparency Platform.

During the repair work, Gazprom will change the pipeline sections to improve the security of the transmission system. The change of transmission stages is performed in accordance with the results of Gazprom’s internal diagnostics.
Latvia’s supply is fully provided by the Inčukalns underground gas storage, but market participants also have access to alternative natural gas supply routes from the Balticconnector gas pipeline in Finland or the liquefied natural gas terminal in Lithuania and Klaipeda, Conexus emphasizes.

It has already been reported that Gazprom will carry out the planned maintenance work on the Valday-Pskov-Riga gas pipeline from Monday, the company announced on Friday. Repairs will last until February 6. Gazprom revealed that they have agreed with other pipeline operators. The purpose of the repairs is to increase the security of gas supply, Gazprom announced,
