Poland is negotiating a deal to import liquefied natural gas (LNG) from the U. S. to supply Ukraine and Slovakia, strengthening the European Union’s energy ties with the U. S.
Officials are expected to announce a joint declaration to enhance imports after a meeting at a transatlantic energy conference in Athens this week.
Following this announcement, discussions will begin on supply terms for Slovakia. The potential volumes could reach 4 to 5 billion cubic meters of gas per year, matching Slovakia’s annual consumption.
This deal is part of a trend of recent energy agreements between European countries and the U. S. government and companies aimed at boosting gas and nuclear exports from the U. S.
