As of yesterday, while speaking within a distant conference with the heads of local executive bodies of social protection dedicated to considering the problematics of housing subsidies, Ukrainian Prime Minister Volodymyr Groisman said within next five years Ukraine must boost production of domestic gas by 7 billion cubic meters, thereby enabling the country to refuse from imported gas and become an energy independent state, Government Portal reports.
«Our objective for 5 years to come to increase [gas volumes ed.] by 7 billion cubic meters is absolutely real, it’s our domestic production. After 5 years we should get complete energy independence,» Groisman admitted.
As to the report, he reminded that the previous week he had visited Shebelinkagasvydobuvannya Gas Production Division. As to him, State-owned companies of oil and gas industry are reviving.
«We can produce sufficient volume of electricity, we can produce the necessary amount of gas, and we can, due to energy efficiency, reduce consumption and become an energy efficient country. As a result we will be able to abandon the imported gas, and moreover, to completely get rid of energy dependence,» he said.
