EC approves €145 mln funding for Polish gas link

The European Commission has approved €145.5 million in funding to build the 168-kilometers gas pipeline Pogórska Wola-Tworzeń. The gas link is part of the North-South corridor of the European Network of Transmission System Operators for Gaz (ENTSOG). “This gas pipeline supported by the EU funds is a new cornerstone to the European energy market and to the diversification of the Union energy sources. It will contribute to bringing to the Polish citizens a more affordable, safe and sustainable energy,” Commissioner for Regional Policy Corina Crețu said. The project is expected to be completed by end-2020.
