Gascontrol Polska completes construction of strategic DN500 high-pressure gas pipeline

Gascontrol Polska has successfully completed the construction of a strategic DN500 high-pressure gas pipeline with a maximum operating pressure of 8.4 MPa in Rybnik. The project was commissioned by Gaz-System S.A., the Polish gas transmission system operator—a key company in the energy infrastructure and transmission sector that manages the country’s natural gas networks.

This is a major infrastructure investment involving the construction of a branch line to a new combined-cycle gas turbine unit and the construction of a metering station. The project aims to supply Poland’s largest gas-fired unit, with a capacity of 882 MW. This project is a key element of the energy transition, enabling changes in electricity generation technology based on low-emission fuel sources. It will bring measurable environmental benefits, including reduction of carbon dioxide emissions into the atmosphere, a reduction in nitrogen oxide emissions and the complete elimination of sulfur oxide and particulate matter emissions, a reduction in the volume of process wastewater, the elimination of solid waste. The investment is of fundamental importance for the region’s energy security and the stability of the national power grid, particularly following the decommissioning of older carbon-fired power units. The completed project will significantly contribute to the region’s economic development.
