Poland’s state-owned mining group, Polska Grupa Górnicza (PGG), is encouraging consumers to purchase coal for the upcoming winter heating season sooner rather than later. The move comes amid concerns about potential supply chain disruptions and increased demand. PGG aims to proactively manage demand and ensure availability for households relying on coal for heating. They suggest purchasing now will avoid potential price increases and delivery delays closer to winter. The company emphasizes it has sufficient stocks currently, but anticipates higher demand as temperatures drop. This early purchase appeal seeks to stabilize the market and prevent a potential rush for coal later in the year. PGG also noted the importance of securing fuel supplies given geopolitical uncertainties.
