LNG terminal may be expanded

Poland may increase the storage capacity of its LNG terminal in Świnoujście, due to be launched early next year, pipeline operator Gaz-System CEO Jan Chadam told Reuters in an interview. Chadam said that initial market screening showed enough interest in gas from the terminal for the construction of a third storage tank to be considered. The screening was conducted before the latest Russia-Ukraine gas crisis. “Interest was huge. It exceeded the re-gasification possibilities of the terminal,” the Gaz-System CEO was quoted as saying. “If binding agreements are signed, a decision about building the third container might be made. We might come back to that topic next year.” The Świnoujście LNG terminal will be able to receive 5 billion cubic meters of gas per year after its opening. A third storage tank would boost the capacity to 7.5 billion cubic meters.
