Gaz-System and Energinet, partners in the Baltic Pipe project, have completed a key stage of installation work on the offshore pipeline. In July this year, the last welds connecting this gas pipeline to the Danish transmission network in Faxe, Denmark, and to the Polish transmission system in Pogorzelica were made.

Poland is to have gas for the winter. Additional extraction and contracts are to fill up the Baltic Pipe, and the rest can come from the exchange, provided that it will not run out of gas because of Russia – writes Wojciech Jakóbik, editor-in-chief at BiznesAlert.pl.

Former CEO of PGNiG Piotr Woźniak warns that filling the capacity of the Baltic Pipe can be time-consuming and costly, and according to him, everything was ready in 2019. „Perhaps the negotiations should start from the beginning, and it’s already May, so there are fewer than seven months left until December, when the Baltic Pipe […]

One of our proposals to Europe to increase the security of supply is to impose sanctions on Nord Stream 1. The gas should flow through Ukraine. It would increase Russian dependence on Ukraine. We can easily transit more with ample free capacities – states Ukrainian gas transmission system operator GTSOUA boss Serhiy Makogon to BiznesAlert.com.

It is said that Russians came up with the doctrine of de-escalation by escalation. It’s about using tactical nuclear weapons to conduct a limited attack on an area that is of little importance in order to discourage the opponent from fighting.

The Russians may be cooking a new gas crisis for Europe in May, but it will probably be the last one in history, because the Old Continent is to become independent of Russia’s fossil fuels.

Unsurprisingly the Russian invasion on Ukraine sparked a discussion about the need to revise the energy strategy, but it also caused another dispute in the ruling coalition on bringing back an energy ministry, writes Wojciech Jakóbik, editor-in-chief at BiznesAlert.pl.

„Due to the situation in Ukraine, in Europe, talks on accelerating the construction of new LNG terminals have started. Also, in Poland, we are analyzing scenarios related to the faster implementation of the FSRU project, i.e. the floating LNG terminal in the Gdańsk Bay,” says the president of Gaz-System Tomasz Stępień in an interview with […]

Poland’s Energy Policy until 2040 was to be updated in 2023 at the latest. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine makes it necessary to update it immediately and, in accordance with the recommendations of the European Commission, to maintain the independence of our sector from Russian gas – writes Wojciech Jakóbik, editor-in-chief at BiznesAlert.pl.

In the midst of the energy crisis and the political dispute over the Yamal contract with Gazprom, it has been suggested that the Baltic Pipe, which is to replace Russian gas with Norwegian, will not have enough gas. Domestic gas production and proper contracting should protect us against this problem – writes Wojciech Jakóbik, editor-in-chief […]
