EC grants €124 mln to gas pipeline construction in Poland

The European Commission has approved the transfer of more than €124 million from the European Regional Development Fund for the construction of a 253-kilometre section of gas transmission pipeline between Leśniewice and Wronowo in the Mazowieckie, Łódzkie and Lubelskie regions.

These are funds from the 2014-2020 programming period. This section is part of over 300 km of gas pipeline from Gustorzyn to Wronów. “This project is a concrete example of cohesion policy support for energy security in Europe. It will significantly contribute to the Polish’s energy security by diversifying gas supply sources and will enable gas exports to Lithuania, Slovakia and Ukraine . . . .” said Commissioner for Cohesion and Reforms, Elisa Ferreira.
