Benefits

The Czeszów-Kiełczów gas pipeline is one of the elements of transmission system expansion in Lower Silesia and the investment programme designed in connection with the commissioning of the LNG terminal in Świnoujście and the development of the North-South Gas Corridor.

The construction of the Czeszów-Kiełczów gas pipeline is crucial to the strengthening of Poland’s energy security. Together with the other gas pipelines to be built in Lower Silesia, the new section with the highest operating parameters will enable the transportation of incremental gas volumes through the transmission system.
