Poland has achieved a reduction in Russian gas prices

April 30 2020

PJSC Gazprom lowered the price of Russian gas supplied to Poland under the Yamal contract. It is reported by the state Polish company PGNiG.

It should be noted that recently PGNiG complainedthat Gazprom did not comply with the decision of the Stockholm arbitration and promised to meditate on various instances in order to arrest the shares of the companies operating the Nord Stream and Nord Stream 2 gas pipelines. PGNiG is now declaring that PJSC Gazprom has heeded the arguments and decided to change the price of gas for Poland.

Gazprom announced that it will change its gas bills in March and April 2020

- said in an official statement PGNiG.

PGNiG specified that the Polish side is satisfied with such actions by the Russians. After all, this fully meets the expectations of the Poles for the further implementation by the Russians of the decision of the Stockholm arbitration of March 30, 2020.

We remind you that before this PGNiG and Polish officials in unison informed the public about the victory over PJSC Gazprom in the mentioned arbitration. According to them, PJSC Gazprom now supposedly has to return 6 billion zlotys (about $ 1,5 billion), which are due to Poland under the Yamal contract. The arbitration agreed with the arguments of the Poles that they had overpaid the Russians for gas since January 2014.

It must be added that on December 31, 2022, the Yamal contract will expire. Moreover, the Polish side itself asked about it. According to a contract signed in 1996, Russia pledged to supply up to 10 billion cubic meters to Poland. m of gas per year.

In the future, the Poles are going to receive pipeline gas from Norway through the “Baltic Gas Pipeline” under construction and in the form of LNG supplies to the terminal in иноwinoujцеcie.

  It is just simple if the court sets prices retroactively.
  Then another news appeared.
  
  Tomasz Stempen, the head of the Polish gas transportation company Gas-System, said in an interview with the Polish newspaper Gazeta Wyborcza that at the end of 2019 his company had reached an agreement on the intersection of the Nord Stream and Nord Stream 2 routes, which are planned for construction by the Baltic Pipe.

  No one confirms the news anymore, at least not yet. Now the discussion will trample, fuel will be poured onto the fan with shovels. The discussion is planned not boring. It remains only to wait for confirmation or denial.

    There will be a completely boring discussion, because nothing to discuss.
    In world practice, there is a proven technology for crossing pipelines. Gazprom formally must agree to the intersection, and if the intersection is not carried out according to international practice, then it will be banned. But since the intersection is carried out according to the technology of world practice, it cannot be prohibited. So the topic is closed.

      As an article on this topic appears, re-read your comment and compare.

      Really? It’s a pity, Denmark thinks differently, more precisely, perhaps she agrees with you, but how will you refuse such a request to partners from across the ocean?

        If you go to the website of Baltic Pipe, then there is info:
        
        The Baltic Pipe project will allow gas to be transported from Norway to the markets of Denmark and Poland, as well as to end consumers in neighboring countries. At the same time, the Baltic Pipe project will allow delivering gas from Poland to the Danish market.
        The project is being developed in collaboration between the Danish gas transmission system operator Energinet and the Polish gas transmission system operator GAZ-SYSTEM.
        
        That is, Denmark agrees, Denmark is good, Denmark is nice ...
        What do you have against Denmark?

        Come on, don't make yourself a naive schoolgirl. We understand the difference. When issuing a permit to Nord Stream-2, how long did it take to issue a permit?

        Against Denmark? Almost nothing, as, indeed, about Bulgaria. What is the point of talking about slaves?

I would just terminate the contract without scandals.
