"We were informed by the dispatchers that there will be no gas supply from Russia at least until 6 o'clock (0500 GMT) Friday morning," head of Geoplin Alojz Stana told Reuters on the phone.

He said Geoplin had called upon several large Slovenian users, among them 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.

He added supply to customers was not disrupted as the company was using other supply sources and stored gas but said Geoplin could not under the circumstances approve any increase of the use of gas to any of its customers in Slovenia. (Reporting by Marja Novak; Edited by James Jukwey)
