Benefit Description
The project will allow to transport significant volumes of gas via PL-SK and PL-UA interconnections. It will also enhance the access to the USG Strachocina
that have large expansion potential and may serve as essential security of supply infrastructure in the CEE region. Construction of the pipelines within this
project, together with completion of the PL-SK interconnection and GIPL, will have a positive impact on the competition in the CEE and Baltic regions, as
the project will provide a possibility to open the market for more gas suppliers. This would in turn mean ending the state of major dependency on one
single gas supplier for the countries in the respective regions thanks to the potential access to gas deliveries from new sources. The projects in Eastern
Poland are located in the area which offers the possibility to extract unconventional gas. If reserves are confirmed, the transmission infrastructure in
Eastern Poland might be used to transport gas to adjecent systems.
