Poland expects long term deal for US LNG

The announcement comes after Poland’s President Andrzej Duda met with US President Donald Trump.

Poland imports most of the 16 billion m³ of gas it consumes a year from Russia, on the basis of a long-term deal with Gazprom which expires in 2022.

Warsaw plans to replace the Russian gas after then with supplies from Norway via a planned pipeline as well as with more LNG from the US coming to its terminal at the Baltic Sea.

Poland's ambition is to resell gas in future, especially to Ukraine, but also to southern Europe. Once it completes the pipeline to Norway and expands its LNG terminal it will be able to import more gas than it consumes.
