The Baltic Pipe gas pipeline project has been inaugurated in Goleniów, northwestern Poland, on 27 September 2022, with the start of effective gas transmission to start on 1 October 2022.
The 10 bcm/year Baltic Pipe project, developed by Denmark's Energinet and Poland's Gaz-System, is a gas infrastructure that allows the transport of gas from Norway to the Danish and Polish markets, as well as to end-users in neighbouring countries. The Baltic Pipe Project also enables the transport of 3 bcm/year of gas from Poland to Denmark.
The Baltic Pipe has been a European Project of Common Interest since 2013 and has received around €267m of EU funding through the Connecting Europe Facility.
Earlier in September 2022, the Norwegian oil and gas company Equinor signed a 10-year gas sales agreement to supply Poland’s PGNiG with 2.4 bcm/year of natural gas, through the Baltic Pipe project. The agreement will be effective from 1 January 2023 to 1 January 2033.
