Russia's Gazprom is pumping more natural gas to Poland even though an agreement last year to increase Russian gas supply hasn't come into force yet.
Miroslaw Dobrut, deputy president of Polish gas monopoly PGNiG, was quoted as saying that Gazprom is now pumping an additional 10 mm cm of gas a day to Poland. Without the additional supply from Russia, which covers increased demand for heat and power generation, PGNiG would have to limit gas supplies to its industrial clients, Dobrut said.
