Project Baltic Pipe
Face | Monitoring
Energinet and the Polish gas transmission company GAZ-SYSTEM are jointly building the gas pipeline Baltic Pipe, which connects the Norwegian, Danish and Polish gas systems. Baltic Pipe will have a capacity of up to 10 billion cubic meters of gas per year (approximately four times the Danish gas consumption). Baltic Pipe will be built from 2020 and was originally planned to be ready for operation in October 2022. Energinet expects to be able to deliver part of the agreed capacity in October 2022 and is working to deliver full capacity by the end of 2022.

BALTIC PIPE CONSISTS OF:
- A 105-110 km new gas pipeline in Nordsøen from the Norwegian gas pipeline Europipe II in Nordsøen to Houstrup beach on the west coast
- Expansion of the receiving terminal in Nybro north of Varde. Expansion of the Danish transmission system with approx. 210 km new gas pipeline. See the map above
- A compressor station in Sydøstsjælland, which increases the pressure and gas flow in the gas pipeline in Østersøen
GAZ-SYSTEM is responsible for establishing a gas pipeline in the Baltic Sea between Denmark and Poland and the necessary expansions of the Polish transmission system.
WHAT DOES BALTIC PIPE COST?
The total costs for the Baltic Pipe are estimated to amount to DKK 12-16 billion. Energinet must finance approx. half of the investment, which takes place through loans from Danmarks Nationalbank.
