Denmark resumes construction of gas pipeline to Poland
A Baltic pipeline which aims to connect Poland to Norwegian gas fields will resume construction at its Danish sector, grid operator Energinet said on Tuesday, amid escalating tension between the European Union and Russia.
The pipeline was planned to reduce Poland’s reliance on Russian gas but construction was halted in May 2019 due to environmental concerns.
Danish operator Energinet said it had now received a new environmental permit and expects the pipeline to be partially operational from October 1 this year. It will run at full capacity of up to 10 billion cubic metres from January 1, 2023, it said.
The EU currently depends on Russia for 40 percent of its gas consumption.
