Poland - Cross-border gas pipeline for improving logistics in CEE
Interconnector – it is a pipeline connection between two countries enabling gas transmission in both directions.
Currently on the Polish territory are several operated pipelines connecting national gas systems of Poland and neighbouring countries, but none of them is an interconnector, because they provide gas transport only in one direction.
New interconnector is urgently needed
