PGNiG Confirms Lower Gas Supplies from Gazprom

Poland’s Polskie Górnictwo Naftowe i Gazownictwo confirms that is registering lower gas supplies from Gazprom since Monday, restating the message sent on Wednesday. 

‘Polskie Górnictwo Naftowe i Gazownictwo SA reports that natural gas supplies provided under the Yamal Contract at the interconnection points in Drozdovitse (Ukraine), Kondratki (Belarus) and Vysokoye (Belarus) remain inconsistent with the nominations made by the company,’ PGNiG wrote on Thursday. 

The company reported that, on September 10, the delivery shortfall was approximately 45%.

PGNiG also confirmed that the decreased gas flows are not alarming, as it imported additional gas through the interconnection points in Lasów (Germany) and Cieszyn (the Czech Republic). 

‘Under the Yamal Contract, PGNiG may collect gas volumes which are equal to or lower than the maximum contracted daily volumes defined for the individual entry points through which gas is delivered. The volumes of gas ordered by PGNiG were lower than the maximum volumes, and therefore compliant with the provisions of the Contract, but nonetheless they have not been met by OOO Gazprom Eksport.’ 

PGNiG asked again Gazprom to explain the reasons behind reduced gas supplies to Poland, adding its customers have not been affected.  

Meanwhile, Slovakia’s Eustream stated that gas flow from Ukraine remained in normal mode.
