While describing Equinore, its executive vice president Marketing, Midstream, and Processing, Irene Rummelhoff said that Equinor is a broad energy provider and has been a major supplier of gas to Europe for 45 years. It is working with local companies on formulating large-scale offshore wind and solar projects in Poland.
The agreement between Equinor and Poland’s PGNiG is for 10 years with a volume of around 2.4 billion cubic metres (bcm) of gas per year to be exported through the new Baltic Pipe.
The Baltic Pipe Project connects the Norwegian gas export system to Poland via Denmark and facilitates the flow of Norwegian pipeline gas to Poland.
The Baltic Pipe project connects to the Norwegian gas transportation system with Denmark’s transmission system operator (TSO) Energinet responsible for the components on Danish territory and Poland’s TSO GAZ-SYSTEM in charge of the section between Denmark and Poland.
The numbers under the new, long-term pact indicating market prices are identical to around 15 % of the typical, annual gas consumption in Poland. The agreement is from 1 January 2023 to 1 January 2033.
