On 15 October 2015, Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, the European Commission signed (gas interconnector Poland-Lithuania Polish Lithuanian gas pipeline project, GIPL) financing agreement, will be before December 2019 completed this natural gas pipeline facilities construction, thus ending for a long time in the Baltic Sea region and Europe, other countries energy market state of isolation. This is BEMIP Commission in the Baltic Haiti district energy market interoperability initiative "framework to promote a regional cooperation achievements.
One of the key elements of the strategy of alliance of European Union energy (energy unio) is energy, improve infrastructure, to complement the missing link, the flow of energy most in need of place, and to ensure that each member has at least three energy sources. The total cost of the GIPL project is 558000000 euros, the European Union through the Europe Facility Connecting (CEF) has been allocated 305000000 euros to GIPL in 2014, which is the EU's largest ever investment in such projects. Projects such as GIPL CEF in 2014 - 2020 will provide $53.5 billion euros of investment in energy infrastructure, in which a small part of the funds will be used to leverage private sector investment in energy infrastructure, and most of the money is used to support is not commercially viable projects.
GIPL natural gas pipeline diameter of 70 cm, with a total length of 534 km (357 km in Poland, 177 km in Lithuania), the initial gas transmission scale for Poland to Lithuania 2400000000 cubic meters per year, Lithuania to Poland 1000000000 cubic meters per year. Taking into account the pipeline between Finland and Estonia is under construction, GIPL not only can benefit the Baltic countries, but also to get through the gas pipeline between Finland and.
Protocol GIPL ended three Baltic Sea countries in the energy sector long-term dependence on the history of a single source of supply, the energy supply security and diversification of energy sources is of great significance. The Commission will be energy alliance construction as the focus of the work, the GIPL investment 3 billion euros in line with the strategic direction of the Commission Chairman Juncker said.
