PGNiG begins talks over gas corridor with Norway

PGNiG has begun discussions about creating a gas corridor between Norway and Poland, company Vice-President Maciej Woźniak announced on Wednesday. During a seating of the Sejm's commission on Energy and State Treasury, Woźniak said that bringing in Norwegian gas to Poland would strengthen the energy security of the country. He explained that the company is looking into making an agreement with Denmark to transport gas from Norway by the use of existing Danish pipelines. "That would only leave the need for a pipeline to be built between Denmark and Poland," he added. During a visit to Norway at the beginning of February, Prime Minister Beata Szydło declared that her government would do everything in its power to facilitate the creation of a gas pipeline from the North Sea to Poland.
