Poland Received Less Gas Than Requested from Gazprom

 

Poland's gas pipeline operator Gaz-System said the country received about 20 million cubic metres of natural gas on Friday from the eastern direction, less than requested by the state-controlled importer PGNiG.

"The increased requests of PGNiG are still not being met," Gaz-System's spokeswoman Malgorzata Polkowska said on Saturday.

"But Poland is receiving from all import points more gas than its daily consumption." Gazprom is the sole supplier of natural gas from the eastern direction for Poland.
