Abstract
The first case of COVID-19 infection in Poland took place in March 2020. Two significant waves of infections have passed through the country during the last 19 months. First of them at the turn of October and November 2020, and the other from February to April 2021. It is worth noting that the first wave coincided with the beginning of the 2020/2021 gas winter season. The second, was in line with its ending. The work attempts to find the answer the following question: how did the pandemic affect the consumption of natural gas (NG) by end users in Poland and did the plans for the development of the Polish transmission networks presented before the pandemic change significantly? The work also touches on the aspect of guaranteeing the security of supplies by using UGS. In order to answer the aforementioned questions, a study of the daily consumption of NG by end users connected to the transmission and distribution network was conducted. The analysis covered two groups of natural gas transported by the transmission network operator, i.e. lowmethane gas - Lw and high-methane gas - E. The observed results indicate an increasing demand and undisturbed development of the NG sector in Poland, in particular for large high-methane NG end users connected to high pressure transmission network. The extremely frosty months like: March and April 2021 had the crucial impact on the largest ever consumption of distribution networks. Despite the lower consumption in 2020, compared to the assumptions from before the pandemic, at the end of 2021 the level of NG consumption from both groups will approach the published optimal development scenario. Historically based forecasts confirm the high probability of the implementation of one of the 3 development plans presented in 2019. In the UGS at the end of the withdrawal season, more fuel was stored than in the previous 4 years. Higher inventories of storage facilities allowed to accelerate the injection process during the summer season.
