Russia's Gazprom OAO (GAZP.RS) is pumping more natural gas to Poland even though an agreement last year to increase Russian gas supply hasn't come into force yet, the Rzeczpospolita daily reported Tuesday.
The newspaper cited Miroslaw Dobrut, deputy president of Polish gas monopoly PGNiG (PGN.WA), as saying that Gazprom is now pumping an additional 10 million cubic meters of gas a day to Poland.
Without the additional supply from Russia, which covers increased demand for heat and power generation, PGNiG would have to limit gas supplies to its industrial clients, Dobrut said.
