The Polish natural gas transmission system operator Gaz-System has obtained all the documents required to start the construction works of the 168-km long high-pressure Pogórska Wola - Tworzeń natural gas pipeline project. The PLN1bn (€238m) gas pipeline is scheduled to cross the territories of three Polish voivodeships, namely Małopolskie, Świętokrzyskie and Śląskie.

The project is also co-financed by the EU as per the Infrastructure and Environment” 2014–2020 programme.
