FACTBOX-18 countries affected by Russia-Ukraine gas row

SERBIA - About 87 percent of annual gas demand is met by
Russia**

Supply from Russia was cut off on Jan. 6. Natural gas
accounts for 15 percent of its annual fuel use.

Tens of thousands of Serbian homes regained gas heating
on Thursday after Germany and Hungary started supplying five
million cubic metres of natural gas a day.

E.ON Ruhrgas (EONGn.DE) was expected to provide Serbia with
a further 2.7 million cubic metres. The country was also seeking
an additional 2-3 million cubic metres from Austria.

BULGARIA -- About 96 percent of annual demand for gas is met
by Russia**

Bulgaria may be forced to restart a nuclear power reactor it
shut in 2006 if the cut-off drags on, Prime Minister Sergei
Stanishev said on Monday. It would need a green light from
Brussels and at least 30 days to prepare the unit.

Daily electricity consumption in Bulgaria has jumped to
7,000 MW and it is still exporting 632 MW mainly to Greece and
the western Balkans. It has the capacity to produce another
1,100 MW from hydro and thermal-power plants but that will not
cover demand if the gas disruption goes on.

POLAND -- About 47 percent of annual demand for gas met by
Russia**

Russian deliveries via Ukraine halted on Jan. 7. Imports
continue via Belarus. The government has approved a motion to
cut gas supplies to industrial clients.

Gas distributor PGNiG said Poland was receiving 84 percent
of contracted Russian gas in spite of the halt in deliveries.

SLOVENIA - About 64 percent of annual demand for gas met by
Russia**

Russian supplies stopped from Jan. 7. Deliveries to
customers have not been disrupted.

Main gas supplier Geoplin called on several large Slovenian
users, including energy firms and car maker Revoz, a subsidiary
of France's Renault (RENA.PA), to cut the use of gas and use
other fuel instead.

Geoplin said it may have to reduce or cut gas supplies to
its industrial customers, but that there would be no
reductions for non-industry consumers.

CROATIA - About 37 percent of annual demand for gas met by
Russia**

Russian flows halted on Jan. 6. Croatia consumes about 12
million cubic metres of gas each day during winter. It produces
4.8 million cubic metres and imports the rest from Russia.

Croatia satisfies a quarter of its annual energy needs with
gas. It has 370 million cubic metres of stored gas, enough for
about three weeks. The government said Croatia's oil and gas
concern INA INA.ZA (HINAq.L) would look into an emergency
import of gas from Italy or North Africa.

INA has secured a three-day emergency import of gas from
Germany. Hungary said on Jan. 10, it would supply Croatia with
around 1 million cubic metres of gas via Austria.

MACEDONIA - About 100 percent of Macedonia's gas comes from
Russia*.

Just one percent of its overall energy supply comes
from natural gas, according to a recent study. Russian gas
supplies to Macedonia halted on Tuesday.

The country's main steel exporter has been forced to halt
production but alternate fuels are providing heating, including
in the capital Skopje, which partially relies on natural gas.

ROMANIA -- About 28 percent of annual demand for gas met by
Russia*

Russian supplies to Romania were cut early on Jan. 7.
Underground storage and gas production by Romgaz and Petrom
SNPP.BX(OMVV.VI) were being used to make up the shortfall.
Romania produces 65 percent of domestic consumption.

Romania has around 2.2 billion cubic metres of natural gas
stored in underground deposits, which officials have said can
supply households and industry for around 60 to 80 days at
maximum capacity.

MOLDOVA -- Completely reliant on Russia for its gas supply.

Moldova has asked for assistance from the European Union to
help the population deal with power and heating shortages. More
than 50,000 people have been left without gas since Jan. 7.

Austria has mobilised large capacity heaters and electrical
generators which are expected to arrive in the capital Chisinau
on Monday.
