Poland intends to complete construction of the Baltic pipeline by October 1, 2022
The length of the Swedish section of the gas pipeline is 85 km. The total length of the sea highway is 275 km.
Swedish authorities issued the latest permit for the project to build the Baltic Pipe from Norway to Poland. This was reported by the Polish gas transmission operator Gaz-System on Monday May 11.
It is noted that on May 7, Sweden approved the passage of the highway through its exclusive economic zone. The length of the Swedish section of the gas pipeline is 85 km. The total length of the sea highway is 275 km.
Previously, a full set of permits was obtained in Denmark and Poland. The gas pipeline will be built by the Italian contractor Saipem.
“This decision showed that the Swedish government recognizes the importance of the project not only for Poland and Denmark, but for the entire European Union to strengthen cooperation between member states and, perhaps, first of all, to become independent from natural gas supplies From Russia”. – Gaz-System President Tomasz Stempen said.
Recall, on May 4, Poland launched the construction of the Baltic Pipe. This was announced on national television by the country’s president, Andrzej Duda. He stressed that, as a result, Ukraine will be able to receive gas.
The Baltic Pipe project involves three stages: the connection of the Norwegian and Danish gas transmission systems, the expansion of the Danish infrastructure and the construction of the Baltic Pipe, which will connect Poland and Denmark along the bottom of the Baltic Sea. The pipeline’s planned capacity is 10 billion cubic meters per year. Poland intends to complete construction by October 1, 2022.
The cost of the project exceeds 1,500 million euros, of which almost 267 million are funds from the European Commission.
