The new pipeline will enable the off-take of additional gas volumes from the FSRU terminal located in the Gdańsk area. The investment will improve the capacity of the Polish transmission system and thus contribute to strengthening Poland's energy security.
The construction of new transmission infrastructure will also stimulate the development of the gas market and its competitiveness.
Local communities will gain an important benefit of the revenue from the property tax to be paid annually by GAZ-SYSTEM at the rate of 2% of the value of the transmission infrastructure section to be located in the territory of each municipality. This amount will be a regular contribution to the local budget which may be spent on community needs.

A series of public consultation meetings were held in April and May 2021 for each commune along the route of the proposed gas pipeline.
Invitations to the meetings were sent both electronically and in printed form to the communes concerned, and through them to: village heads, local communities and owners of properties through which the project is to run.
The consultations were held in the form of one-on-one meetings with the residents (among other reasons due to epidemic restrictions), during which each participant could get to know the route of the planned gas pipeline and its course through their property. Representatives of the investor and the engineering company were also present and answered questions concerning, among other things, the safety of the infrastructure, compensation payments, legal basis for the project and timing of further works.
Within 7 days of the end of the consultations, each resident could express their reservations as to the route.

Under a special act regulating gas infrastructure projects, compensation payments are guaranteed to the owners of properties affected by the project development.
The compensation payment process is carried out in accordance with an administrative procedure, under the supervision of the competent Voivode. First, an independent expert is commissioned to carry out an assessment, which is the basis for determining the amount of compensation. Upon completion of the construction process, the Voivode issues an administrative decision specifying the amount of compensation due.
