Poland Plans to Stop Importing Natural Gas From Russian State Provider
Poland’s state gas company PGNiG said on Nov. 15 it would stop importing natural gas from Russia’s state-controlled Gazprom when a long-term contract expires in three years unless it can secure better commercial terms.
The announcement comes as Poland is working to reduce its dependence on Russian energy sources, which Moscow has sometimes used as a tool of political pressure on its partners.
Poland had said before that it did not plan to buy gas from Gazprom after 2022. However, the agreement signed in 1996, known as the Yamal contract, required that the parties formally submit declarations regarding future cooperation three years before the deal expires.
