Polska Spółka Gazownictwa has been witnessing an increased interest in connecting professional entities to the grid for nearly two years. Even before the Russian invasion of Ukraine, a survey of this market was made, which PSG repeated in the middle of the year. As a result of comparing both inquiries, nearly 150 new entities have appeared that want to connect to the gas network in the future. This is because natural gas is a heating plant's only way to achieve climate neutrality. However, connecting so many professional entities is a huge technical and financial challenge for Polska Spółka Gazownictwa. 

"It requires preparing a support system for entities that want to join our network. So that they could co-finance the connection costs using external funds. We are talking about this with representatives of the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage. We would like to see changes in the so-called Modernization Fund, which concerns the power and heating sectors. We believe that modernization processes of existing connections or the construction of new networks should be also co-finance, among others, using these funds," summed up Jakub Kowalski, a member of the PSG Management Board for Operations.
