Since Russia sharply reduced gas supplies to Europe in 2022, Poland has emerged as a key regional gas crossroads, underpinned by its Swinoujscie LNG terminal, expanded interconnections and access to Baltic and North Sea supplies. Gas grid operator Gaz‑System has strengthened this role through infrastructure upgrades, tariff reforms and the repurposing of the Yamal pipeline from Germany into a west‑to‑east corridor. As other transport routes take shape across central and eastern Europe and global gas markets remain volatile, the focus is now on whether Poland can draw sufficient interest for its planned Gdansk LNG terminal and expanded export capacity, including flows to Ukraine. Speaking to ICIS senior reporter Aura Sabadus, Agnieszka Ozga, director for energy transition, and Stanislaw Brzeczkowski, chief engineer at Gaz‑System, explained the steps that are taken to position Poland as a major transshipment hub.
