PGNiG to double exports to Ukraine

WSE-listed gas giant PGNiG hopes to increase its sales to Ukraine twofold this year to 700-800 million cubic meters, company’s Deputy CEO Maciej Woźniak said. At end-Q3, PGNiG sold 430 million cubic meters to Kiev. In order to boost sales, the company is planning to launch a second connection via Czechia and Slovakia on top of the existing direct pipeline between Poland and Ukraine. The second link would help increase inflows. Woźniak added that the final volume of sold gas will depend on the situation on the local Ukrainian market which is very volatile.
