On the last day of the year 148th LNG was already transported to Świnoujście, PGNiG reported around 1:00 p.m. on December 31 on his Twitter account. In 2021 alone, it is the 35th such transport. As indicated, what was brought by the Megara methane carrier, after regasification, it will give 95 million cubic meters. gas. How does this figure compare to gas consumption in Poland?
PGNiG informed in its last quarterly report about domestic sales 24.05 billion cubic meters gas in three quarters of 2021 of which 11.99 billion cubic meters it was imported. The above-mentioned 95 million cubic meters. of gas transported by sea is enough for more or less one day of average monthly consumption in Poland. The main source of gas in the country is still extraction in the country and import from the east.
According to PGNiG data in the presentation to the quarterly report for the third quarter of 2021, the eastern direction, read Russia is as much as 67 percent. import, a LNG to 24 proc. LNG comes to us from Qatar, the USA and Norway. 9 percent of import was the southern and western direction, i.e. it is also gas from Russia, but it is imported from Germany and through gas pipelines in Ukraine and the Czech Republic. During the year, the proportions changed in favor of LNG – a year ago, LNG imports accounted for 20 percent.

On a nine-month scale, it is imported via the gas terminal in Świnoujście After regasification, PGNiG acquired 2.92 billion cubic meters. gas, i.e. a similar amount as the year before. Production by the PGNiG group amounted to 3.59 billion cubic meters from January to September. and was higher by 9 percent year on year. In the third quarter, 44 percent. PGNiG’s production was in Poland, and 56 percent. In Norway.
However, in order to effectively import gas from PGNiG’s fields in Norway, it is necessary completion of the gas pipeline Baltic Pipeyou want to have capacity 10 billion cubic meters gas per year. In an interview for “Do Rzeczy”, Piotr Naimski, the government plenipotentiary for strategic energy infrastructure, recently stated that the Baltic Pipe is to be launched around September 2022, three months before the end of the Yamal contract.
Meanwhile, the Yamal Gas Pipeline, running through Poland to Germany, has been in use for over a week only to transport gas to Poland. According to data from the Entsog Transparency Platform, from December 21, Jamal did not receive a single cubic meter of gas in Germany.
Until December 17, from the beginning of the month, more than 410 GWh of gas was supplied to us from Belarus per day (37 million cubic meters), of which 240-290 GWh (22-26 million cubic meters) went to Germany. Currently, it is only slightly over 90 GWh per day (8 million cubic meters) and this is what remains in Poland.
The Russians are waiting for the launch of Nord Stream 2both lines are already filled with gas and waiting for transmission possibilities to be opened.
