WARSAW: Poland’s PGNiG and Gaz-System companies are involved in talks to secure the country access to gas from the Norwegian Shelf, a senior official has said.
“On our side, PGNiG and Gaz-System are responsible, and Energinet and Gassco on the Danish and Norwegian side,” Piotr Naimski, the Polish government’s pointman on energy infrastructure, told a Warsaw conference entitled Gas for Poland.
During a visit to Oslo last month, Polish Prime Minister Beata Szydło said her government would press for a gas pipeline to be built linking Poland to the North Sea. Diversifying gas supplies and reducing Poland’s dependence on Russia is a priority for Warsaw.
