• Diameter:
  • Lewin Brzeski-Nysa: 500 mm
  • Grodkow branch: 150 mm
• Status: Proposed
• Start year:
• Cost: EUR 15890000.00

Background

The project was initially proposed in 2014, with an expected commissioning date between 2015-2020. This, along with 9 other gas infrastructure projects developed by Gaz-System, qualified to receive a total of 750 million Euros from the European Commission as financing for the project. Of this total sum, 9.95 million was earmarked for this project specifically.

However, the project still remains in its early stages of development, with Gaz-system reporting that the pipeline was still in the "engineering design" phase. The pipeline will have a 38km section from Lewin Brzeski-Nysa with a diameter of 500mm, and a significant branch from Kopice to Grodkow of 14km at a diameter of 100-150mm.
