The total cost of the project is PLN 247.6 million, of which PLN 152.4 million is co-financed by the European funds. The investment will have a significant impact on the development of the gas market in the Kuyavian-Pomeranian and Pomeranian regions, and will increase natural gas distribution capacity at the branches in Gdańsk, Koszalin and Bydgoszcz. The aim is to replace the DN 150, 5.5 MPa high-pressure gas pipeline, which has been in operation since the 1980s, with the modern infrastructure of DN 300 MOP 6.3 MPa gas pipeline approximately 70 km long, a piston delivering and receiving station, a fibre-optic network and seven shut-off and relief valve assemblies, which will enable the distribution of natural gas to over 20,000 consumers located along the route of the investment.
The project is a part of a long-term strategy for the development of modern and safe gas infrastructure in Poland and supports the country’s energy transition. This investment will significantly improve the quality and reliability of gas supplies to residents and businesses in the region.
