Gas company Eesti Gaas finds it doubtful Estonia will be able to stockpile the 1 terawatt-hour of gas it needs for the coming heating season should the LNG terminal plan fall through. The first procurement yielded only a tenth of the required volume, with the Estonian Stockpiling Agency (ESA) forced to hold additional tenders.
Secretary General of the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Communications Ando Leppiman will start as chairman of the board of the Estonian Stockpiling Agency on May 9.
