Reuters: Poland looks to import natural gas from United States, Canada

Poland is looking for partners in the United States and Canada from whom it could import liquefied natural gas (LNG) for its terminal due to be launched next year, Polish Deputy Economy Minister Ilona Antoniszyn-Klik said.

She added that representatives of Poland's largest energy companies will go to the United States in September to hold talks on potential deliveries, but said U.S. LNG prices were uncompetitive for Polish clients for now.

"We are ready to find trade partners in the United States and Canada, who would supply gas to the newly-constructed LNG terminal in Swinoujscie," she in comments authorised for release on Wednesday.

The Polish LNG terminal in the port city of Swinoujscie on the Baltic coast will initially be able to accept 5 billion cubic metres of LNG per year. Poland expects that the terminal to accept first deliveries by end-June 2015.
