Reuters: Poland's PGNiG says agrees gas price discount with Russia's Gazprom
Poland's top gas distributor PGNiG has agreed with its main supplier, Russia's Gazprom , a discount in gas prices for the lower supplies the Polish state-controlled company was receiving in September, a PGNiG official said on Monday.
Two months ago, PGNiG started to report deliveries from Gazprom, its largest supplier from the east, at levels as much as 45 percent lower than its daily orders.
This led some energy traders to conclude Poland had been trying to discredit Gazprom's reliability as a supplier ahead of renegotiation of a long-term gas contract this month. PGNiG is still to launch the renegotation.
