Minister Anna Moskwa: Gas and coal will not be in short supply
13:21
Climate and Environment Minister Anna Moskwa assured that Poles will not freeze this winter. She stressed that the country's gas storage facilities are already full, while coal is flowing and no one will run out of it either. Meanwhile, for the time being, coal although expensive is still hard to come by, and changes in gas tariffs still do not compensate for the increase in the price of this commodity.
"We are secured for this season. First of all, we already have 100 percent of the gas in storage and all gas deliveries – despite what is happening with Nord Stream 1 – are being made. The same is true of coal, which is flowing all the time," Anna Moskwa said.
She also reported that the distribution of coal across the country has already begun, and depots will be able to receive this coal and then direct it to farms.
"This winter will be warm," the minister reassured.
Meanwhile, ministry spokesman Aleksander Brzózka told Polish Radio that due to the EU embargo on Russian raw materials, seven million tonnes of coal have been contracted for Poland and are being brought into the country by sea.
