Poland Demand to Soar

Demand to Rise as Poland Reduces Coal

Agnieszka Barteczko (March 30): Poland’s demand for gas will jump by 60% over the next 10-13 years from around 20 bcm annually, gas grid operator Gaz-System said, as coal-reliant Poland sees gas as a transition fuel before switching to nuclear and renewables. Piotr Naimski, the government official responsible for energy infrastructure, told Reuters: “A surge in gas demand can be expected between 2024 and 2030, when new gas-fired power plants will be put into operation. This will initially be a strong growth, and then, in the years following 2030, demand will remain at a stable level.”
