Due to record prices for gas, the main production feedstock of Grupa Azoty Puławy, the Puławy-based company of the Grupa Azoty Group has decided to temporarily scale down production at further units. As a consequence of Russia’s aggression against Ukraine, since February 24th 2022 natural gas prices on the European exchanges have been soaring to extraordinary, historically high levels. Gas prices over the past six months have nearly quadrupled, having surged from EUR 72/MWh on February 22nd 2022 to EUR 276/MWh on August 22nd 2022.

Rising gas prices and analysis of achievable sales prices for the product are the key reasons for a temporary reduction in melamine production at Grupa Azoty Puławy.
