ITAR-TASS: Ukraine plans to build gas pipeline to Poland to get European gas

Ukraine plans to build a 110-kilometer-long gas pipeline for a yearly transit of up to 10 billion cubic meters of gas from Poland, the UNIAN news agency reports.

The project is estimated at $245 million. Radoslaw Dudzinski, deputy chairman of the board of Polish Polenergia, told a Baltic business form in Poland that the gas pipeline could become operational in 2019-2020.

Plans are to build the pipeline from underground gas storage facilities Bilshe-Volitsa in Ukraine’s Lvov region to the gas-measuring station Drozdovichi on the Ukrainian-Polish border.

If the project is translated into practice, Ukraine will be able to get gas from Germany, and it will also be possible to transport liquefied gas from a terminal in the Polish port city of Swinoujscie, which will become operational in 2015.
