Record year in gas transmission
GAZ-SYSTEM has published a summary of data for the previous year. 2017 was a record year in terms of gas transmission – 19.7 bcm. This represents a growth by almost 9 percent compared to 2016.T his information confirms the increased demand for natural gas in Poland. We believe that the construction of the Baltic Pipe will strengthen this trend even further by enhancing the stability and security of supply. The development potential of the natural gas market in Poland is very high - says Tomasz Stępień, President of the Management Board of GAZ-SYSTEM. He also points out that gas is a clean energy source and an important tool in the fight against smog. Connecting new industrial customers producing e.g. system heat to our transmission network may play an important role in the fight against this phenomenon, which is a serious problem in large urban areas - he adds.
In the 2018–2027 National Ten-Year Development Plan (NTYDP), GAZ-SYSTEM estimates that the demand for gas will continue to grow. Future demand for gas and changes in the transmission volumes will depend mainly on the developments in the energy sector.
The electricity sector’s annual demand for gas in 2027 will grow by 1.3 bcm to 2.7 bcm. The actual figure will depend on what power plants and CHP plants will be built by that time. This means that the domestic demand for gas is estimated to grow by 8 to over 17 percent in a ten-year horizon.
