波兰签署LNG终端扩建相关协议

据能源世界网6月24日华沙报道，波兰已经签署了价值19亿兹罗提(约合4.83亿美元)的合同，将其位于波罗的海Swinoujscie的液化天然气终端容量从目前的50亿立方米扩大到2023年的83亿立方米，以应对不断增长的国内需求。

波兰天然气基础设施运营商Gaz-System的一个液化天然气部门，以及Szczecin和Swinoujscie的港口于周三就扩建项目与Porr和TGE天然气工程财团签订了合同。

波兰认为该设施是减少该国对俄罗斯天然气依赖的一种手段，俄罗斯天然气仍占其总消费量的一半以上。

负责能源基础设施建设的部长皮奥特·内姆斯基（Piotr Naimski）在新闻发布会上表示，该终端使我们能够灵活地接收来自世界各地的天然气。

波兰国营天然气公司PGNiG与俄罗斯天然气工业股份公司(Gazprom)的长期天然气供应协议将于2022年到期，此后，该公司不打算再延长协议。

该公司计划通过一个计划中的天然气通道，用液化天然气供应和从挪威通过管道输送的天然气替代俄罗斯的天然气。

PGNiG预计，随着天然气逐渐取代煤炭，波兰的天然气消耗量将在未来几年内增加，煤炭是该国大部分电力的生产来源。

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.
