He increased the import of gas supplies from the West, the Yamal pipeline. Only through the point Mallnow Reverse can annually bring more than 5 billion m3 of gas, which is one-third of Polish demand.
This year will begin deliveries to the LNG terminal, possibly even in 2016 will start gas Polish connection with Slovakia. Larger import capabilities also mean increased competition in the internal market.
Given the regulatory aspects of Polish natural gas market is still quite closed, therefore, I do not expect the emergence of large international players. Competition, however, will grow due to the development of infrastructure.
The activities related to the launch of the LNG terminal, which is the start of a continuous supply to the terminal in Swinoujscie, the planned merger with Slovakia, corridor North-South, the potential development of interconnections with Germany and the gas pipeline Baltic certainly have a positive impact on the functioning of the Polish system gas – emphasizes in an interview with the agency Newseria Business Piotr Kasprzak, a member of the management board. operating Hermes Energy Group.
last year, Gaz-System has created the technical possibility of importing natural gas into Polish from the west using the gas pipeline Yamal . Thanks to the ability to import on this section increased by 3.2 billion m3 per year. Thus, Poland can bring annually approx. 5.5 billion m3 of natural gas per year from Germany, the only point Mallnow Reverse.
Probably later this year uprising gas connection between the Polish and Slovakia, with which it will be possible to bring gas to south-eastern part of Polish, where there is an extensive system of transmission and storage infrastructure.
In December last year was a test delivery to the LNG terminal. The target capacity of the pipeline in Swinoujscie to 5 billion m3 of gas and 7.5 billion m3, if the terminal is expanded to a third tank. Initially, however (this year) will go there each year 1.3 billion m3 of gas from Qatar contract.
– In 2016, the only real change will begin deliveries to the LNG terminal. It will be visible on the Polish market and in the work of the transmission system – says Kasprzak. – Taking into account the contractual obligations largest seller of natural gas in Poland, he must pick from Qatar approx. 100 million m3 per month, or two tankers. It is difficult to say whether enough gas is needed Poland. However, taking into account the existing cross-border connections with the eastern, western, domestic production and gas storage facilities, it seems that this balance will be positive – says the expert.
Total natural gas consumption in Poland is estimated at 15 billion m3 annually. Diversification of gas supplies means not only greater energy security of Polish, but also increased competition in the market. Currently, licenses for trade in gaseous fuels are already 177 entities (at the end of the third quarter. 2015. There were 165).
It should also be noted that a license to trade in natural gas has 61 entities. The emergence of dozens of new companies resulted in lower gas prices, more and more customers that can change supplier. According to data from the Energy Regulatory Office by the end of 2015. The decision adopted more than 30 thousand. consumers (since 2011, when it was created a possibility).
– The increase in the energy security of Polish influences commissioning of the LNG terminal, the potential Polish connection with Denmark and Norway through the Baltic pipeline. While it will have an impact and the development of free gas market in Poland. It is known that the higher the competition, the greater the benefits and safety, more sellers who care about this, that the system was maintained, and the gas flowed – says Piotr Kasprzak.
Thanks to the diversification of gas supply increases the energy security of Polish
