Jan 25 (LNGJ) - The Baltic state of Lithuania said the nation’s liquefied natural gas import facility at the port of Klaipeda would be supplying regasified LNG from 2022 to a Polish gas-fired power plant. The power plant at Ostroleka in northeast Poland will receive the supplies from the Lithuanian facility, a floating storage and regasification unit, first deployed on the Baltic Sea coast in 2014. Lithuania and Poland, both members of the European Union, will be connected by the end of 2021 by a new EU-backed natural gas pipeline.
