The Prime Minister of Poland said that the shortage of solid fuel will have the greatest impact on the housing and communal services sector and households, writes the Telegram channel “NA-GORA. Coal Analytics.
According to Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki, the shortage of solid fuels will amount to about 4.5 million tons will have the greatest impact on the housing and communal services sector and households. According to the publication of the channel, this is about half of the coal annually imported by Poland from Russia.
Morawiecki instructed state-owned companies to buy the missing coal from Colombia, Australia or South Africa. However, Polish consumers will face competition from their European neighbors (Germany in particular) as coal-fired power comes back on track amid gas shortages.
Poland is one of the largest consumers of Russian coal in Europe, so the embargo will affect it more than most of its neighbors. This suggests that against the backdrop of a cold winter, Russian energy resources may return to Europe after August 10, but Russian coal miners need to directly and indirectly indicate to their Western partners that competitive coal is better than monopoly gas, writes NA-GORA.
