The terminal, to be located at Swinoujscie, is expected to be capable of initially importing 5 billion cubic metres of LNG a year.
Poland currently consumes 13 billion to 14 billion cubic metres of gas a year and imports about two-thirds of its gas from Russia.
Polskie chief executive officer Zbigniew Rapciak was quoted by Bloomberg as saying that the terminal is due to be complete by mid-2014 and will expand to 7.5 billion cubic metres a year in 2017 or 2018.
