Investment implementation benefits

The new Goleniów gas compressor station will be responsible for increasing the capacity of the transmission system by pumping increased volumes of gas from the Baltic Pipe offshore pipeline. It will enable increasing Poland’s energy security and will constitute an important element of the North-South Corridor.

Taxes paid annually by GAZ-SYSTEM will be an important benefit for the municipality in which the pumping station will be expanded.

Legal basis
The project is implemented pursuant to the provisions of the Act of 24 April 2009 on investments in the field of re-gasification terminal for liquefied natural gas in Świnoujście, Journal of Laws of 4 June 2009, as amended (“Special Purpose Road Act”) (Article 38 (2) (z)).
