Benefits

The Wężerów - Przewóz gas pipeline, directly connected to the North-South Gas Corridor, will allow a new route for supplying gas fuel to customers in the City of Kraków. It will contribute to improving energy security and ensuring continuity of supply with increased demand for gas. The implementation of the investment will also create opportunities to connect new industrial customers, especially in the electric power sector.

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.
