Polska Spółka Gazownictwa – the biggest distribution system operator in Poland – acts as an investor, while the Oil and Gas Institute – National Research Institute (INiG-PIB) is an institution implementing the FENX.02.03 Energy infrastructure measure of the European Funds for Infrastructure, Climate, Environment 2021 – 2027 Programme.
Projects which obtained co-financing in the second call are:
The investments will contribute to a significant increase in the capacity of the network and the safety of the distribution system operation. They will make it possible to increase the volume of the gas distributed and to add new consumers, as well as ensure the safety and reliability of gas supplies to existing customers. Importantly, thanks to the use of smart technical solutions and the appropriate selection of materials, the new infrastructure will facilitate integration with renewable gas networks and will improve the network absorption capacity in many areas, which will contribute to the development of the biomethane market.
“While conducting a very extensive investment programme – this year it is over PLN 3 billion – we take care that the costs of transition are as little felt as possible in the tariff. We take measures that allow us to spread the costs for the end consumers fairly. That is why we actively seek public funding, including that from the EU funds and from national funds. The EU funding is record-breaking: PLN 382 million from the National Recovery and Resilience Plan, and in total over PLN 1.2 million under the European Funds for Infrastructure, Climate, Environment programme,” says Dr Szymon Paweł Moś, member of the Management Board of Polska Spółka Gazownictwa, who oversees the area of public aid acquisition.
