Incuklans UGS, a key asset for regional gas supply stability, will no longer be subject to tariffs set by the Public Utilities Commission (PUC) starting May 1, 2026.

Instead, the system operator will monitor the auction for storage capacity and set service fees, Xinhua news agency reported.

These amendments are expected to enhance cooperation within the Baltic region and Finland, supported by existing gas supply solidarity agreements. During the summer, natural gas can be pumped into storage to ensure adequate supply during the cold months in Latvia, Estonia, Lithuania and Finland.
