Lithuania's natural gas transmission system operator, AB Amber Grid, has been recently notified of technically related issues that have occurred in the territory of Poland in carrying out the preparatory works and possible alternatives of technical solutions for the Gas Interconnection Poland-Lithuania (GIPL) Project.
According to the information received, the Polish transmission system operator, GAZ-SYSTEM S.A., has encountered number of difficulties in planning the Rembelszczyzna Gas Compressor Station capacity enhancement. The alternative technical approach that is currently under consideration could have a positive impact on the Project scope: possibility increase the capacity and decrease the investments.
The pending changes in the GIPL Project technical approach in the Polish territory will be neutral to the Project scope in the territory of Lithuania. Only the Project implementation schedule possibly will be effected with the completion date postponed.
As soon as AB Amber Grid receives more specific information from the Polish transmission system operator, AB Amber Grid will adjust possible changes in the implementation schedule of the Project and will take necessary decisions.
