Acting together to enhance Pomerania’s energy security
Today was the day marking the official launch of south-eastern supply for the city of Gdańsk, and the interconnection system supplying the refinery of Grupa LOTOS S.A. with natural gas. The project is of strategic importance to the region of Pomerania. It will enhance the region's energy security and support its economic growth.
Its execution was possible thanks to the construction by Pomorska SpóÅ‚ka Gazownictwa (company of the PGNiG Group) of a 30.2-kilometre long high pressure gas pipeline from Kolnik to GdaÅ„sk. It was part of a larger project co-financed by the European Union with funds from the European Regional Development Fund, designated as "South-eastern supply for the City of GdaÅ„sk along with connection to the gas grid of WiÅ›linka and Sobieszewo Island". The places being currently connected to the gas grid are the Sobieszewo Island, WiÅ›linka and some municipalities located within Å»uÅ‚awy GdaÅ„skie: Pruszcz GdaÅ„ski, Suchy DÄ…b, PszczóÅ‚ki and Cedry Wielkie.
"PGNiG regards Pomerania as a very important region. We have been active there for years, exploring for and producing natural gas. Equally important to us are investment projects, which help enhance the region's energy security, support its economic growth and improve the quality of local residents' lives. An example of such projects is the one implemented by Pomorska SpóÅ‚ka Gazownictwa," says Grażyna Piotrowska - Oliwa, President of the PGNiG SA Management Board.
The high pressure gas pipeline from Kolnik to Gdańsk built as part of the project will play a vital part in ensuring continuous gas supplies to the Gdańsk-Gdynia-Sopot agglomeration. It is complementary with respect to the 10+ Development Programme deployed by Grupa LOTOS S.A. Gas is supplied to process units and used both for process purposes and as a source of energy.
