據能源世界網6月24日華沙報道，波蘭已經簽署了價值19億茲羅提(約合4.83億美元)的合同，將其位于波羅的海Swinoujscie的液化天然氣終端容量從目前的50億立方米擴大到2023年的83億立方米，以應對不斷增長的國內需求。

波蘭天然氣基礎設施運營商Gaz-System的一個液化天然氣部門，以及Szczecin和Swinoujscie的港口于周三就擴建項目與Porr和TGE天然氣工程財團簽訂了合同。

波蘭認為該設施是減少該國對俄羅斯天然氣依賴的一種手段，俄羅斯天然氣仍占其總消費量的一半以上。

負責能源基礎設施建設的部長皮奧特·內姆斯基（Piotr Naimski）在新聞發布會上表示，該終端使我們能夠靈活地接收來自世界各地的天然氣。

波蘭國營天然氣公司PGNiG與俄羅斯天然氣工業股份公司(Gazprom)的長期天然氣供應協議將于2022年到期，此后，該公司不打算再延長協議。

該公司計劃通過一個計劃中的天然氣通道，用液化天然氣供應和從挪威通過管道輸送的天然氣替代俄羅斯的天然氣。

PGNiG預計，隨著天然氣逐漸取代煤炭，波蘭的天然氣消耗量將在未來幾年內增加，煤炭是該國大部分電力的生產來源。

Poland signs deals to expand its LNG terminal

Poland has signed contracts worth 1.9 billion zlotys ($483 million) to expand its liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal in Swinoujscie on the Baltic Sea to 8.3 billion cubic metres (bcm) by 2023 from 5 bcm now in response to increasing domestic demand.

An LNG unit of Poland's gas infrastructure operator Gaz-System and the ports of Szczecin and Swinoujscie on Wednesday signed a contract with a consortium of Porr and TGE Gas Engineering on the expansion project.

Poland sees the facility as a means of reducing the country's reliance on Russian gas, which still accounts for more than half of its total consumption.

"The terminal gives us the flexibility of receiving gas from different parts of the world," Piotr Naimski, a minister responsible for energy infrasructure, told a news conference.

Poland's state-run gas company PGNiG does not plan to extend its long-term gas supply deal with Russia's Gazprom beyond 2022 when it expires.

It plans to replace Russian gas with LNG supplies and pipeline gas from Norway via a planned gas link.

PGNiG expects gas consumption in Poland to increase in the coming years as gas gradually replaces coal, which the country uses to produce most of its electricity.
