Connection to the NTS
GAZ-SYSTEM operates the transmission infrastructure in such a manner so as to ensure its maximum utilisation. This means that in the event of a need to connect new sources, end consumers or networks of other energy companies to the network, connection to existing entry or exit points to/from the system is considered in the first place. However, where this is not technically possible, the operator defines the conditions for connection to a new physical point to be located in close proximity to the existing transmission network.
The determination of such conditions takes account of the location of the facilities to be connected to the transmission network as well as cost optimisation. When a new physical point needs to be created for the facility to be connected to the GAZ-SYSTEM infrastructure, you should verify what steps need to be completed in order to successfully go through the process of connection to the transmission network.

Entities that can be connected to the GAZ-SYSTEM transmission network
Entities that may be connected to the transmission network of GAZ-SYSTEM S.A. in accordance with Chapter 2 of Regulation of the Minister of the Economy on detailed conditions of the operation of the gas system fall into two connection groups, i.e. Group A and Group C.
- Group A
- Facilities with a connection capacity of at least 45 000 m3/h which are not connected to the gas distribution network may be connected to the transmission network. The exemption from the above requirement applies solely to installations for vehicle refuelling with gas.
- Group C
- There is no minimum connection capacity required for this group.
The exact characteristics of the entities that may be connected to the transmission network:
- Group A - consumers of gaseous fuel:
- power plants and combined heat and power plants using natural gas for heat and, power generation,
- companies that consume gas in industrial andtechnological processes,
- CNG stations,
- other.
- Group C - entities operating in the field of:
- transmission or distribution of gaseous fuels,
- regasification of liouefied natural gas (LNG terminal),
- generation (mines, biomethane plants),
- natural gas storage.
