Ørsted and Equinor have just signed an agreement under which Equinor will
supply Norwegian gas to Denmark via Baltic Pipe. The agreement covers the
period from 1 January 2023 to 1 April 2024, and the total volumes of gas
supplied during the period will be approx. 8 TWh, corresponding to roughly
a quarter of the expected total Danish gas consumption.
The completion of the Baltic Pipe gas pipeline has enabled Ørsted to buy
gas from the Norwegian gas fields, as the gas pipeline connects the
Norwegian gas pipe system to Denmark.
Søren Thygesen Blad, Head of Gas Portfolio Management in Ørsted, says:
"We're pleased to have entered into this agreement with Equinor, which
ensures a stable supply of Norwegian gas to Denmark via Baltic Pipe during
the period when the Tyra field isn’t supplying gas to Denmark. With this
agreement, we’ll have more than enough gas to meet the gas demand of our
customers for the coming and next winter, enabling us to stock up our
Danish gas storage facilities over the summer."
With this agreement and the production from the South Arne field and from
biogas, Ørsted has more than covered the consumption of its own customers,
which are business customers in Denmark and Sweden. The agreement
strengthens the security of supply in Denmark while also replacing the gas
volumes that Ørsted would otherwise need to buy on a volatile European gas
market in the period when the Tyra field is not supplying gas to Denmark.
