BALTIC PIPE

Baltic Pipe is a gas pipeline that will provide Denmark and Poland with a direct
access to Norway’s gas fields.


 


BACKGROUND

The project is organised as collaboration between Energinet and the Polish gas
transmission system operator GAZ-SYSTEM S.A.

 

Baltic Pipe includes expansion of the Polish and Danish gas infrastructure. It
began gas transmission services in October 2022 - full capacity from November
2022.

 

The new pipeline will expand the gas transmission capacity by up to 10 billion
cubic metres of gas per year. In comparison, the total Danish gas consumption
for 2016 was 2.5 billion cubic metres.

  


WIN-WIN FOR BOTH DENMARK AND POLAND

A feasibility study has shown that the Baltic Pipe Project can bring significant
socioeconomic benefits to Poland, Denmark and the Baltic and Central & Eastern
European regions.


 


IMPORTANT EUROPEAN PROJECT

EU has included Baltic Pipe on its list of key infrastructure projects that are
of common interest to Europe – also known as “PCI projects”. This is due to the
essential role Baltic Pipe could play in contributing to the development of
Europe’s internal market for gas, and the fortification of EU’s security of
supply.

 


INVESTMENT DECISION

The final investment decision on Baltic Pipe was made in November 2018.

 

As a precondition for greenlighting Baltic Pipe, Energinet and GAZ-SYSTEM S.A.
launched an “Open Season” process in the second half of 2017, which invited
market players to submit binding bids for capacity in the projected
pipeline. The result of the Open Seasom was positive

TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION

Baltic Pipe includes the following technical systems and installation:

 * A 105-110 kilometres long, new offshore gas pipeline from Norway's pipeline
   Europipe II in the North Sea to a receiving terminal.
 * Expansion of the Danish transmission system with a new gas pipeline,
   approximately 210 kilometres long.
 * A compressor station in Zeland. The compressor station increases the pressure
   of the gas in the pipeline in the Baltic Sea.
 * A 260-310 kilometres long offshore gas pipeline in the Baltic Sea between
   Denmark and Poland. 
 * Expansions of Poland's transmission system.

Energinet is in charge of establishing the first three components, while
GAZ-SYSTEM is responsible for the pipeline in the Baltic Sea and expansions in
Poland. 


COSTS

The total cost estimate for Baltic Pipe is DKK12-16 billion.The costs are split
equally between Energinet and GAZ-SYSTEM.


PROJECT OF COMMON INTEREST



The Baltic Pipe project has been included on EU’s list of important
infrastructure projects – also known as Projects of Common Interest (PCI) –
which are deemed essential to the integration of the European energy networks.
As a result, the project has been granted EU funds to perform a feasibility
study. Find an abstract of the feasibility study here.

PUBLIC HEARINGS


2018 - 2019

Public hearings and information meetings for citizens affected by construction
work. 


FINAL INVESTMENT DECICION


30 NOVEMBER, 2018

Energinet and GAZ-SYSTEM make the final investment decisions for the Baltic Pipe
project. 


ENVIRONMENTAL APPROVAL


12 JULY, 2019

Danish Environmental Protection Agency issues the environmental approval for
construction work on land.


GEOTECHNICAL STUDIES


2019

Geotechnical studies are carried out to get an overview of soil conditions along
the planned routing of the pipeline. More than 500 geotechnical drillings are
made across Jutland, Funen and Zealand. 


ARCHAEOLOGICAL STUDIES


2019 - 2021

Local museums make archaelogical studies before the actual construction work
begins. If they find interesting, prehistoric objects, archaeologists will have
the opportunity of undertaking actual excavations.


OFFSHORE ENVIRONMENTAL APPROVAL


25 OCTOBER, 2019

The Danish Minister of Climate, Energy and Utilities grants permits to the
offshore parts of the gas pipeline. Energinet is responsible for the pipeline on
the maritime and continental shelf in the North Sea and the Little Belt and
GAZ-SYSTEM for the maritime and continental shelf in the Baltic Sea. 


CONSTRUCTION WORK


DECEMBER 2019 - 2022

Construction work takess place across Denmark.


PROJECT COMPLETION


2022

Following tests of pipeline and compressor station, Baltic Pipe began the
transmission of gas in October 2022, full capacity from November 2022.
