Poland as a gas hub – opportunities for cooperation with selected countries of Central and Eastern Europe

Summary/Abstract: The aim of the article is to analyse the possibility of establishinga regional gas transmission and trade center in Poland, the so-called gas hub.The gas hub is described in many strategic documents adopted by the Polishauthorities in recent years. For its creation, several key elements must be met.First of all, a strong, competitive, and diversified (energy sector, heating sector,industry, individual customers) natural gas market should be established inPoland. The natural gas distribution and transmission network should be ableto balance supply and demand. Domestic production of natural gas shouldbe supplemented by stable and diversified supplies. The domestic gas markets in the region should be integrated and the connection between the systems (interconnectors) should enable the gas transmission in both directions(import/export). The purpose of this article is to verify the possibility of establishing a regional natural gas transmission and trade center in Poland and todefine the potential for cooperation with selected countries of our region.
