GasNet delivered gas equipment to Ukraine

The largest Czech natural gas distributor successfully delivered specialist gas equipment to Ukraine in February. It was the first humanitarian aid from an EU gas distributor to its counterpart in Ukraine.

GasNet donated seven service vehicles and specialist gas equipment from its inventory, as reported by CEEnergy News.

"We are grateful for the swift and effective cooperation with our colleagues at GasNet and the Czech authorities in carrying out this logistical operation," said Ádám Balogh, head of the Energy Community Secretariat's Ukraine Support Task Force (USTF), which organises energy assistance to Ukraine.

USTF works with the European Commission, particularly the Emergency Response Coordination Centre (ERCC) of DG ECHO, the coordinator of the European Union Civil Protection Mechanism (UCPM), to ensure the delivery of energy-related humanitarian supplies to Ukraine.

USTF forwards transport requests to the ERCC, which organises transport from donor companies' locations through the UCPM. Together with the ERCC, USTF monitors the process and assists with and coordinates each shipment at every stage of its journey in Europe and Ukraine.
