July 1, 2020, on the basis of the trilateral agreement between "Moldovatransgaz" LLC, "Moldovagaz" JSC and ERU Management Services LLC, which is part of the ERU Group, the first supply of natural gas to Romania with Moldova being a transit country took place. Historically, this route was used solely by Russia's Gazprom.

The agreement reached as to the use of the Moldovan gas transmission system opens the way for gas transit from Ukrainian underground storages to the market of Romania and other Balkan states. ERU Management Services LLC supplies gas under the contract with an international European supplier. 

"ERU has become the first company to start operating on the gas transit route to Romania through Moldova, which is an alternate and attractive way to reach the European consumers. We can see its significant potential as the volume of supplies through the territory of Moldova can amount to 3 billion cubic meters of gas annually", noted Yaroslav Mudryy, Managing Partner with the ERU Group.

He also added that this would enhance the attractiveness of Ukraine as a viable Eastern European gas hub with the possibility of using underground storage capacities of 31 billion cubic meters that are currently only fifty percent utilized.
