PGNiG doesn’t exclude buying gas from Russia after Gazprom deal expires

State-owned gas giant PGNiG is not excluding any potential purchases of Russian gas, after the current contract with Gazprom expires in 2022, as long as they’re based  “on sound business terms,” deputy CEO Łukasz Kroplewski said. “We are counting on business rationality, healthy partnership terms, because business is based on that, as well as reliable and continuous deliveries, because it is extremely important,” he explained. This is a slight change of mind, as previously, PGNiG’s officials said they won’t be signing any mid- and long-term deals with Gazprom after 2022, and will instead get gas from Norway, Qatar and hopefully the US.
