GNiG Inks Gas Supply Deal with Grupa Azoty
Poland's state-run gas company PGNiG signed a deal to deliver natural gas to state-controlled chemical firm Grupa Azoty worth about 3.3 billion zlotys ($870.09 million) over the next three years, PGNiG said in a statement.
PGNiG, which imports most of the gas it sells from Russia's Gazprom and accounts for 60 percent of Azoty's gas consumption, said the total volume of the gas to be delivered as part of the deal will reach up to 4.5 billion cubic metres (bcm).
Grupa Azoty took advantage of gradual gas market liberalisation in Poland to buy gas from other sources, but said in March it was rethinking that with PGNiG offering bonuses to big clients.
