Gazprom could offer discount to PGNiG

Poland's state-controlled gas distributor PGNiG could receive a discount from its biggest supplier Gazprom, within the next six months, Reuters announced citing the Polish treasury minister said on Tuesday. "There are reasons to expect a lowering of the gas price in the next half a year," Włodzimierz Karpiński told reporters. After PGNiG failed to renegotiate its deal with Gazprom last year, it has applied for arbitration through the Stockholm Arbitration Tribunal over the pricing of their long-term contract.
