Polish gas firm PGNiG's 2020 LNG imports rise 10%
2/4/2021
LNG imports by Poland’s dominant gas firm PGNiG rose by 10% in 2020 to 3.76 billion cubic meters (bcm), as the company continues to look to reduce its reliance on Russian gas, it said.
PGNiG buys most of the gas it resells from Russia’s Gazprom via the Yamal pipeline based on a contract that expires in 2022. But it diversifying supplies by buying LNG from Qatar, the United States and elsewhere.
PGNiG said the share of Russian gas accounted for 60% of total gas imports in 2020, stable year on year.
Beyond 2022 PGNiG plans to import more LNG from the United States and also receive gas from Norway via the planned Baltic Sea gas connection. (Reporting by Agnieszka Barteczko. Editing by Mark Potter)
