Project location:
The high-pressure gas pipeline between Czeszów and Wierzchowice is located in the Lower Silesia Voivodeship in the territory of the municipalities of: Zawonia and Krośnice.
- possibility to supply surplus gas quantities from Germany to the market,
- diversification of natural gas supply to Poland,
- connection of the Wierzchowice Underground Gas Storage to the Lower and Upper Silesian agglomerations,
- improved energy security,
- better overall reliability and operating flexibility of the gas transmission system in Lower Silesia and Opole regions.
The pipeline makes possible the conversion from solid fuels to natural gas, especially in cogeneration systems for heat and power production. This will reduce greenhouse gas and dust emissions into the atmosphere.
