Benefits

Most importantly, the planned investment project will increase the region’s attractiveness by enabling access to gas transmission infrastructure and creating conditions for connecting new customers, specifically from the power sector, to the transmission network. The development of the transmission system will also significantly improve security of gas supply in southern Poland.

Local communities will gain an important benefit of the revenue from the property tax to be paid annually by GAZ-SYSTEM S.A. at the rate of 2% of the value of the pipeline section located in the territory of a given commune.
