The fuel will come from a shipment of U.S. LNG. After regasification, the gas will be transported to the Polish-Ukrainian border.
This is the second gas supply deal under the companies’ Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), following an earlier agreement for the supply of 100 million cubic meters of gas from an LNG cargo.
Stable gas supplies remain our top priority. Cooperation with ORLEN expands Ukraine’s LNG import capacity and enhances energy security. We are diversifying supply sources to ensure a reliable and accessible gas supply, especially amid ongoing Russian attacks on our infrastructure," said Roman Chumak, Acting Chairman of the Board at Naftogaz of Ukraine.
The gas will be transported to Ukraine in April and will be used to create strategic gas reserves, which are crucial for Ukraine’s energy security and for ensuring the stable passage of the next heating season.
Another contract for the supply of gas to Naftogaz highlights the competitiveness of ORLEN’s offer. We continue to develop our trading expertise and leverage our experience in the U.S. market, enabling us to provide attractive commercial terms to our partners. At the same time, we are proud to contribute to Ukraine’s energy diversification, reinforcing our neighbour’s energy security," Ireneusz Fąfara, CEO and President of the ORLEN Management Board.
Reminder: Naftogaz is set to receive Norwegian grant for gas purchases.
