To avoid sudden problems with the amount of the current bill, we invite you to conclude a natural gas trade contract as soon as possible, if it has not been done at the object so far, and you will receive natural gas within the framework of Final Guaranteed Supply (FGS). For FGS users who have not signed a contract within 6 months, the price of natural gas will be 2x higher.
Against the background of the geopolitical situation and its substantial impact on the natural gas market, the April natural gas price in Europe is currently forecast at around 250-300 EUR/MWh.
Colder temperature during heating season and significantly higher natural gas prices were the two main factors, which influenced the Latvijas Gāze performance in 2021. Colder temperature increased Latvijas Gāze sales and utilization of Gaso distribution network.
JSC Latvijas Gāze has concluded amendments to the existing overdraft agreement with OP Corporate Bank plc, Latvian branch.
In the wake of the energy crisis across Europe, the government has decided to compensate for the increase in the price of natural gas for citizens with annual natural gas consumption above 250 m3. Compensation will be applied for the period from January to the end of April 2022. Households do not need to apply for state aid; the reduced fee will be included in the billing documents automatically in accordance with the amount determined by the state.
2021 was unexpectedly challenging and dynamic for the natural gas market. Several global conditions caused a sharp price jump because of which the price of natural gas was almost 6 times higher at the end of 2021 than at the beginning of the year. This has had a significant impact on both natural gas users and natural gas traders.
