The terminal was designed to deliver annually approx. 6.1 bcm of regasified natural gas, but on the back of the European policy of refusal to consume the Russian gas, it turned out that the Polish route of gas transport might be more demanded than expected earlier.
“The current geopolitical situation, particularly the suspension of Russian export of natural gas to the European Union, has fuelled market players’ interest in access to stable and secure natural gas supplies, including by means of LNG terminals. We take the energy security of the region very seriously; therefore, the diversification of gas supply sources is the highest priority for our Company.
In view of the incoming information, we have decided to launch market screening procedure and ultimately provide access to additional LNG supply through the FSRU Terminal in Gdańsk, commented Marcin Chludziński,” President of GAZ-SYSTEM.
The TSO’s press-center added that it is assumed that the additional regasification capacity provided by the terminal will be approx. 4.5 bcm a year.
“The decision on the final regasification capacity of the new FSRU Terminal will depend on the market demand decared under the pending Procedure,” noted the TSO representatives.
