Over one billion PLN in EU funding for PSG
The main aim of the investment is to ensure security and continuity of gas supplies for current consumers and to create conditions required for adding new customers. The project provides for the construction of over 42 km of a modern gas network in the Myszków County (Myszków and Koziegłowy municipalities) and the Częstochowa County (Poczesna, Kamienica Polska, Mykanów, and Rędziny municipalities), as well as in Częstochowa itself.
Thanks to this agreement, the total amount of EU funds obtained by PSG for infrastructure investments exceeded the impressive sum of PLN 1 billion (exactly PLN 1,004,383,784.83). So far, the company has acquired PLN 622 million from the European Funds for Infrastructure, Climate, Environment programme and close to PLN 382 million from the National Recovery and Resilience Plan.
“While executing successive gas investments, we are guided first of all by concern for the end customers – it is important to us that the development of the network will not translate into an increase in costs for customers. That is why we attach special importance to the acquisition of external funds. It is thanks to them that we can expand modern gas infrastructure, minimising the financial burdens for the users,” stresses Arkadiusz Kazana, acting Chairman of the Management Board of Polska Spółka Gazownictwa.
PSG consistently seeks further funding. Only under the European Funds for Infrastructure, Climate, Environment programme, the company has prepared applications for funding for the total amount of PLN 1.5 billion, out of which it plans to obtain around PLN 1.25 billion by the end of 2025. That is five times more than in the previous EU perspective.
