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. Once the development of the system has been completed in 2011, it will be possible to transport up to 1.5 bcm of gas annually (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.
