Poland Eyes LNG Buildout to Shape Europe’s Post-Russia Gas Flows

As Europe moves away from Russian gas for good, Poland is aiming to become the main entry point for global LNG into Central and Eastern Europe — a shift that could reshape fuel flows across the region and give its neighbors a more stable alternative to pipeline imports.

The country is leaning into the momentum it built after Gazprom PJSC cut deliveries in 2022, when Poland’s early diversification left it better prepared than many peers. Now, with Europe planning to exit Russian supplies entirely in 2027, Poland is considering new liquefied natural gas infrastructure to transform itself from a self-reliant outlier into a regional gateway.
