Kędzierzyn Gas Compressor Station
Basic parameters and description of the project:
Project status:
Project location:
The project is located in the Opole Voivodeship, in the Kędzierzyn-Koźle municipality.
- compressor station capacity: three compressor units driven by gas turbines with a total capacity of 23 MW.
- possibility of further expansion to six compressors with a total maximum capacity of 69 MW.
The role of the gas compressor station is to provide gas compression up to the required pressure level in multiple flow directions (western, southern and eastern). It is the first gas compressor station in the Opole Voivodeship.
Project status:
- engineering phase was completed in August 2017 and concluded with obtaining a building permit decision,
- the investment was completed in March 2022.
Project location:
The project is located in the Opole Voivodeship, in the Kędzierzyn-Koźle municipality.
The compressor station enables gas transmission to the western, southern and eastern regions of Poland bringing additional volumes to these parts of the country, which contribute to improving air quality.
Its location on the route of the North-South Corridor ensures the stable transmission of natural gas, in particular through the new 1000 mm gas pipelines. i.e. the Zdzieszowice - Kędzierzyn and Zdzieszowice - Wrocław pipelines on its western side and the Tworóg - Kędzierzyn and Tworóg - Tworzeń pipelines on the eastern side.
Once completed, the compressor station is one of the elements of the reconstruction of the transmission system, enabling the diversification of natural gas supply sources and integration with the European market.
The municipality will benefit from the local taxes to be paid annually by GAZ-SYSTEM.

The project was implemented on the basis of the provisions of the Act of 24 April 2009 on investments in regasification terminal for liquefied natural gas in Świnoujście (for consolidated text see Journal of Laws of 2021, item 1836).
The European Commission has granted financial support from the Connecting Europe Facility for the preparatory stage of a gas compressor station in Kędzierzyn-Koźle implemented as part of the Poland - Czech Republic interconnection project [Stork II] between Libhošť (CZ) - Hať (CZ-PL) - Kędzierzyn (PL ).
The European Commission has granted the PCI (Project of Common Interest) status to the project. More information on the significance of the PCI status for the development of gas transmission infrastructure can be found in the dedicated section on PCI projects.
While implementing its investment projects GAZ-SYSTEM S.A. respects the rights of all interested stakeholders. We encourage you to send comments and questions concerning the project which has been granted the PCI using the Form for questions and comments concerning the implementation of projects with PCI status by GAZ- SYSTEM.
