On November 5, 2024, the Gas Transmission Operator GAZ-SYSTEM concluded an agreement with the Krakow research and development unit - the Oil and Gas Institute - State Research Institute for co-financing the project: "Construction of the Kędzierzyn-Koźle - Racibórz - Rybnik gas pipeline". The Institute is implementing the FEniKS Program - the main goal of which is to improve development conditions by building technical and social infrastructure in accordance with the assumptions of sustainable development, including, among others, through:
- reducing the emission intensity of the economy, transforming towards an environmentally friendly and circular economy,
- building an efficient and resilient transport system with the lowest possible negative impact on the natural environment,
- completing the implementation of sections of the TEN-T core network by 2030,
- improving transport safety,
- ensuring equal access to healthcare and improving the resilience of the healthcare system,
- strengthening the role of culture in social and economic development.
As can be read on the GAZ-SYSTEM website, the value of the task was estimated at PLN 595.5 million, while the granted subsidy will amount to approx. 30% of the investment value, i.e. PLN 199.2 million. The investment project is planned to be completed in the second quarter of 2026.
As one of the leading - and experienced in this field - companies in Poland enabling the execution of trenchless penetrations in five technologies, i.e.: Direct Pipe, HDD, microtunneling, directional drilling, pneumatic jacking, we hope to participate in the implementation of this huge undertaking.
More information about the subsidy and the Feniks project can be found on the GAZ-SYSTEM S.A. website and the website of the European Funds Programme for Infrastructure, Climate, Environment.
