Zdzieszowice – Wrocław
Basic parameters and description of the project:
Project status:
Project route and location:
The gas pipeline has been divided into two sections:
The gas pipeline route will follow the existing high-pressure gas pipeline through:
- high pressure gas pipeline
- diameter: 1000 mm
- operating pressure: 8.4 MPa
- length: approx. 130 km
Project status:
- completed.
- engineering phase completed in December 2017 with obtaining all decisions required for the building permit.
- permit to operate and commissioning of the Section I gas pipeline (July 2020) and Section II (December 2020).
Project route and location:
The gas pipeline has been divided into two sections:
- Section I Brzeg - Zębice - Kiełczów (from Skarbimierz to Kiełczów), 49 km long , implemented by the GAZ-SYSTEM Branch in Wrocław.
- Section II Zdzieszowice - Brzeg (from Leśnica to Skarbimierz) 80 km long, implemented by GAZ-SYSTEM Branch in Świerklany.
The gas pipeline route will follow the existing high-pressure gas pipeline through:
- the Lower Silesia Voivodeship – the municipalities of: Długołęka, Czernica, Oława, the town of Oława.
- the Opole Voivodeship – the municipalities of: Skarbimierz, Olszanka, Lewin Brzeski, Dąbrowa, Opole, Prószków, Tarnów Opolski, Gogolin, Zdzieszowice and Leśnica.
The investment will result in improved security of gas transmission in the Lower Silesia and Opole regions, and, on a national scale, provide increased capacity and better diversification of gas supply sources.
In addition, the Zdzieszowice - Wrocław gas pipeline will be an important link of the North-South Gas Corridor.
Local communities will gain an important benefit of the revenue from the property tax to be paid annually by GAZ-SYSTEM at the rate of 2% of the value of the transmission infrastructure to be located in the territory of each municipality. This amount will be a regular contribution to the local budget which may be spent on community needs.
