The company will continue to supply gas to Finnish customers from other sources through the Baltic connector pipeline.
“We have been carefully preparing for this situation and provided that there will be no disruptions in the gas transmission network, we will be able to supply all our customers with gas in the coming months,” Gasum CEO Mika Wiljanen said.
