Pipeline Details

• Operator: Gaz-System, Eustream
• Parent Company: Gaz-System, Eustream
• Proposed capacity: 5.7 billion cubic meters per year maximum
• Length: 162 km / 102 mi
• Status: Construction
• Start Year: 2021

Background

In February 2017 the European Union granted €107 million for construction of the bidirectional pipeline, which will carry 5.7 billion cubic meters per year (bcm) to Poland and 4.7 bcm to Slovakia. EU public funding was approved under the Projects of Common Interest (PCI) program. According to the European Commission, "The new cross-border pipeline DN1000 has a length of 162 km (length of the pipeline on SK side is 103 km and 59 km on PL side) and maximum capacity of 15.6 mcm/d in the direction SK->PL and of 12.9 mcm/d in the direction PL->SK. Modification of the compressor station in Strachocina (PL) with an estimated power of 30 MW, modification of the compressor station at Veké Kapušany (Slovakia) with an existing power of 283 MW and construction of border gas metering station on the SK territory."
