Poland got rid of the gas dependence of the Russian Federation

According to the agreement with the Venture Global LNG group, the supply of liquefied gas from the United States to Poland will be increased from 3.5 million tons up to 5.5 million tons per year, which is equivalent to 7.5 billion cubic meters. meters of gas per year.

Deliveries under the new contract will begin in 2023.

“This is the implementation of PGNiG’s strategy to achieve independence from gas supplies from the east. After 2022, when the Yamal contract expires, we will no longer be forced to buy gas from the east,” Mayevsky said.

Independence from gas supplies from Russia became possible not only thanks to a new contract with the United States, but also to the purchase of gas assets in Norway, the new Baltic Pipe gas pipeline, and the LNG terminal in Swinoujscie, Majewski said.
