Decision on the building permit for the Rembelszczyzna-Gustorzyn gas pipeline in the territory of the Mazovian Voivodship
On 4 November 2011, the Mazovian Voivode Jacek Kozłowski issued the building permit decision for the construction of the gas pipeline on the Rembelszczyzna-Gustorzyn route, a section 134.43 km in length. The decision concerns the following Poviats: Płock, Płońsk, Nowy Dwór and Legionów in the territory of the Mazovian Voivodship.
The Rembelszczyzna-Gustorzyn pipeline, approx. 176 km in length, is located in the territory of the Mazovian and Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodships. The construction of the gas pipeline will be fulfilled in three stages: Gustorzyn-Płock, Rembelszczyzna-Płońsk and Płock-Płońsk.
The performance of the Rembelszczyzna-Gustorzyn section of the GAZ-SYSTEM S.A. investment project will be co-financed in the amount of 121,55 mln PLN from the Operational Programme Infrastructure and Environment 2007-2013 (OPI&E). The following gas pipelines will also be co-financed from this Programme's funds: the Szczecin-Gdańsk pipeline (226.88 mln PLN), the Gustorzyn-Odolanów pipeline (175.45 mln PLN), the Szczecin-Lwówek pipeline (159.26 mln PLN), the Włocławek–Gdynia pipeline (31.96 mln PLN), the Jeleniów-Dziwiszów pipeline (65.1 mln PLN) and the Polkowice-Żary pipeline (25.59 mln PLN).
The planned date of completion of the investment is May 2014.

The Gas Transmission Operator GAZ-SYSTEM S.A. is a strategic company for the Polish economy responsible for natural gas transmissions throughout Poland. The Company manages assets worth approx. 5 bn PLN comprised mainly of elements of the transmission system, e.g. more than 9.7 thousand km of high pressure pipelines, 15 compressor stations, 56 hubs and 970 exit points. The Company employs over 2,000 people.
GAZ-SYSTEM S.A. will build over 1,000 km of new gas transmission pipelines by 2014. The most important will be constructed in North Western and Central Poland (Szczecin-Lwówek, Świnoujście-Szczecin, Szczecin-Gdańsk, Włocławek-Gdynia, Rembelszczyzna-Gustorzyn, and Gustorzyn-Odolanów), as well as in Lower Silesia (Polkowice-Żary, and Jeleniów-Dziwiszów). The development of the gas pipeline network in Poland may constitute an important element of the North – South Gas Corridor joining the LNG terminal in Świnoujście with the planned Adria LNG terminal and with the Nabucco gas pipeline with the aid of the internal transmission infrastructure of Central European countries.
GAZ-SYSTEM S.A. is also developing gas pipelines in Lower Silesia, which will enable the off-take of greater volumes of gas from the western direction. After the development of the system, which is set to be completed in 2011, it will be possible to transport up to 1.5 bcm of gas annually (the current capacity amounts to 0.9 bcm of gas annually) via the Lasów point on the Polish-German border.
In 2011, GAZ-SYSTEM S.A. completed the construction of the Włocławek-Gdynia gas pipeline, the gas compressor station in Goleniów, and the gas compressor station in Jarosław. The Company has also started up the new Polish - Czech Interconnector, which will enable the transport of approx. 0.5 bcm of gas annually.
