“We are moving from the Finnish-Baltic gas market to Central Europe and starting operations in Poland, which can become a kind of a gas hub in the region. To supply Poland, we use the terminals in Klaipeda in Lithuania and Inkoo in Finland, we sell gas to both the end consumers and the wholesale distributors, and we actively trade on the local gas exchange,” said Margus Kaasik, Chairman of the Management Board of Eesti Gaas.

“A separate segment is regional companies and large joint procurements, which we have successfully done so far in the Finland-Baltic region, now we can offer our customers the Polish market,” said Kaasik.

“The supply insecurity is receding from the market price of gas and gas is making a comeback, in the near future the use of gas in our region will increase even more. Eesti Gaas group stretch goal is to double our energy sales volume in the next three to four years and reach 20 TWh per year,” Kaasik said.
