The 4th BALTIC GAS CONFERENCE, on 5 December 2018, put its emphasis on the effects the liberalisation of the natural gas market in Latvia has had on the cross-border trade among the Baltic countries and the European energy market. Local and international experts presented their infrastructure projects, for instance the Balticconnector between Estonia and Finland, and looked into the structure of the market, considering new market entrants and the consequences the opening of the market has had on the consumers. The German-Baltic Chamber of Commerce also invited politicians as well as large and medium-sized companies from the natural gas industry to discuss those and more matters.

​

In addition to the conference, all participants were invited to take part in an excursion to the INČUKALNS UNDERGROUND GAS STORAGE FACILITY on 4 DECEMBER, which is the only functional storage in the Baltic countries and therefore ensures regional gas supply.
