With this infrastructure, we can supply Poland with as much as 10 billion cubic meters of natural gas and this volume covers over 60% of our annual domestic demand for this fuel. Since January, we have also increased the capacity of the LNG Terminal in Świnoujście. Moreover, we have opened gas interconnectors with Lithuania and Slovakia. We can now say with confidence that the task of ensuring Poland's energy security, which had been set for GAZ-SYSTEM, has been accomplished." – said Tomasz Stępień, President of GAZ-SYSTEM.
