Polish-Slovakian gas link with €108 mln EU financing

EU has granted €108 million subsidy for the Slovakian-Polish gas link project, Polish state pipeline operator Gaz-System said. The link will open the Slovakian market to gas supplies from Poland's liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal in Świnoujście. Gaz-System said the link is part of the North-South corridor project in central-eastern and south-eastern Europe “to increase diversification and security of gas supplies.” The 164-km long pipeline will connect Polish gas pipeline in Strachocina with Slovakian facilities in Veľké Kapušany.
