An expert has warned that Poland’s ageing gas infrastructure is approaching the end of its service date and will be unable to cope with future increases in demand.

“The majority of the network was built under the Polish People's Republic [communist Poland],” Dominik Smyrgała, director of postgraduate studies in energy security at the Collegium Civitas university.

Smyrgała was referring specifically to the network operated by the Polish Gas Company (PSGAZ), the major gas distributor in Poland which is responsible for 170,000 km of gas pipes.
