PGNiG has more contracts for gas supplies for Baltic Pipe
PGNiG assures that it has more contracts for gas supplies from Norway via Baltic Pipe than it has announced so far, but does not provide information about them.
Robert Perkowski, vice-president of PGNiG, spoke at Congress 590. – We are in a completely different place than other European Union countries. Poland and PGNiG have been talking for years about the risks that have materialized – said Perkowski.

The construction of this gas pipeline does not reach a new region, it creates a new, independent route, which we can consider as another pillar of diversification – said the representative of PGNiG. – The current situation is not perfect. Of course, we would prefer to have general gas availability on the German market and everywhere else. Nevertheless, we are in a better situation in this situation than other European Union countries.
