The Polish natural gas pipeline operator Gaz System and the Czech company Net4Gas have finished a new 0.5 bcm interconnector earlier than expected and will launch it in September instead of October, Gaz System said in a statement, cited by Reuters. The operator added that the gas monopoly company PGNiG, a unit of the German gas company VNG Handen and a subsidiary of CP Energia in 2009 signed deals to deliver gas through the new link.
The project and an ongoing expansion of a link with Germany, scheduled to be operational later this year, are the start of a wider process of integrating Poland’s gas pipeline network with its neighbors, according to the Reuters report. The operator also expects links with Slovakia and Lithuania to be ready by 2018 at the latest. Gaz System wants greater integration of Poland’s gas system with neighbors not only as a part of an EU-wide strategy to bring together energy markets, but also to ensure the capacity of a planned LNG terminal will be fully utilized. Poland uses about 14 bcm of gas annually, most of it imported from Russia through the Yamal-Europe pipeline.
