The Less gas get that Germany and Slovakia. During the last day przypłynęło from Russia to Polish about 45 percent less gas reported on Thursday (11.09) Polish Oil and Gas Company. According to some experts, is a political game the Russians.
Gazprom admitted that Poland actually gets less gas, but in relation to new orders. Gazprom spokesman Sergei Kuprianow assured that his company is working under contract, and the restrictions have nothing to do with the sale of raw Poland Ukraine.
Possible return to normal
positive message delivered on Thursday (11.09) in the evening Deputy Prime Minister Janusz Piechociński. He said that the Russians assured that the supply of gas from Friday will be realized in the amount of orders Polish contractor.
– We have today, after a few hours of silence from the other side, confirmation or declaration that tomorrow will be in accordance with the delivery schedule ordered – Deputy Prime Minister said at a briefing. He asserted that “there is no need to so alarmist tone of comment on these events.”
And yet this is the case once again call into question whether the Polish energy is safe and that would cope without supplies from Russia?
In the short term there is no greater danger
For now, the weather is fine, but with the upcoming heating season, the problem of reduced gas supplies would be more and more important.
less gas Russia to Polish flowed both through Ukraine and Belarus. Did gas consumers, those little bigger and you should in such a situation to feel concerned?
– These 45 percent. gas, which get less from Russia is not, on short run, greater danger. fill state warehouses in Poland is exemplary. This is more than 2.6 billion cubic meters. was the last few years expanded and as you can see well be nice – he said on the air of Radio Ones Jacek Corn, deputy editor of the monthly magazine economic “New Industry”.
It also draws attention to the immediate response of PGNiG, which took the decision to increase the supplementary deliveries. That blue fuel flowed through the points on the border with Germany and the Czech Republic confirmed Jan Chadam, President of Gaz-System.
– At the moment, the possibility of import of gas from the East other than amounts to about 75 percent. the entire volume of imports, mainly including lines from Germany and the Czech Republic – explains Jan Chadam, President of Gas Transmission Operator Gaz-System SA
Other import routes
experts and practitioners soothe and claim that serious cause for concern is not, but does that mean that Poland can not cope without gas supplies from Russia?
– In theory, yes. There is also a built in Swinoujscie LNG terminal, although about two years later, but all such investments in Europe were delayed. There, after expansion, we can receive up to 7.5 billion cubic meters. Now 5 billion. The problem is that it really three, because we do not have a network – says Jacek Grain.
A long contract with Gazprom
current contract with Gazprom extends until 2022 What are the objectives of Gazprom, which shows that it is not a reliable partner?
– There are a few, played on two plans. At the strategic plan, it is a game with Europe – Radio Ones guest says.
Gazprom realizes that it can sell less to Europe and therefore created a gigantic investment pipeline to China and the contract signed with this country for 30 years of supply.
Russia needs someone to sell gas
Poland pays Gazprom annually approx. 4 billion. Turning off the gas tap would so such a detriment in the budget of Russia or Gazprom.
caller Ones gives yet another possible cause for the reduction in supplies.
– Such a more direct reason is the issue of the reverse, that is, the gas supply mainly Polish, but also from Slovakia and Hungary to Ukraine. This is an appeal to some EU countries, which are conciliatory attitude to Russia, to address this issue – says deputy editor of the monthly economic “New Industry”.
– Characteristic is also the hype from Russia – suggests.
What divides the Union of Russia, it is also the construction of the South Stream pipeline. It would the Black Sea coast of Russia, and connect the Bulgarian.
What else can you do?
– do not use full capacity, nor all the storage capacity that we have in Europe – According to Jan Chadam, President of Gas Transmission Operator Gaz-System SA
What, then, should be done, in order to become independent of Russian gas? Is salvation Qatari gas is that we would go to the built in Swinoujscie LNG terminal? The terminal is to be opened next year and there is no getting gas from Qatar.
Do we then have emancipated gas from Russia?
– We need Russia 60 percent. gas, which is transported to the Polish by Belarus and Ukraine. If you will move the new opportunities it zbilansuje – says Jacek Grain.
However, this will be the Russian gas, for example. Norway, who earns a fortune on this, do not smoke to increased production. Stocks Netherlands depleted. – Qatari gas, it would be a new element in the game – rounds out Jacek Grain.
And what of Polish extraction and integration of the market?
– Poland covers the demand for gas in one-third of its production – says Dr. Robert Zajdler expert Sobieski Institute. It also gives that while the world consumption of gas increases, the European Union steadily declining. -W Poland in the last 10 years, consumption grew, but the last two years is a period of stabilization – he adds.
Should we fight for the integration of the gas market of the Visegrad countries, and eventually throughout the European Union?
– It is always useful, but in the case of the Visegrad countries, you have to talk about the different interests of these countries, both political and economic. Rather, it was about integration, economic and energy cooperation across the Union. It is then a tremendous force – says the guy Ones. Currently
firm opinion on the matter are: Poland, the Baltic States, Sweden and the United Kingdom.
Joint purchases of gas provides energy union project, proposed some time ago by the Prime Minister Donald Tusk. You may be wondering if now after taking as head of the European Council will increase the likelihood of this project.
If all EU gas market was integrated and unified, the savings could amount to 30 billion euros per year.
President of the Polish Oil and Gas Company announces that he wants to negotiate the price of gas from Russia, and in November opened a window negotiation, whether in the current situation it may go?
