The press release of the NAC to the published financial statements notes that the main profit of the company last year was received from mining.
“However, not all segments of activity were profitable and this needs to be corrected. In particular, the activity of importing, trading and supplying gas was unprofitable due to state regulation, primarily the decisions of the NEURC regulator. Gas storage activities were also unprofitable, partly also from – for the decisions of the regulator,” said the head of the NAC Yuriy Vitrenko.
“State-owned companies should be profitable under normal conditions. Given the scale of Naftogaz, such profits are not excessive, taking into account the invested capital and its cost. At the same time, the data indicate that Naftogaz would be profitable in 2021 without gas transit. This important achievement,” he said.
Naftogaz unites the largest oil and gas producing enterprises of the country (100% of Ukrgazvydobuvannya and 50% + 1 share of PJSC Ukrnafta). The Group has a monopoly on the storage of natural gas in underground storage facilities (100% Ukrtransgaz) and the transportation of oil by pipeline across the country (100% Ukrtransnafta), and is actively developing the direction of gas supplies to household consumers.
