The Board of Amber Grid, a gas transmission system operator forming part of EPSO-G, a state-owned group of energy transmission and exchange companies, has elected Nemunas Biknius as CEO of the company.
As the scheduled construction works for the Gas Interconnection Poland–Lithuania (GIPL) proceed, archaeological research along the planned pipeline route has begun in parallel. For the Lithuanian archaeologists, this is one of the largest projects in recent years.
With the 30th anniversary of restitution of independence of Lithuania approaching, the three-colour state flag of 13 meter width and 23 meter length was hoisted above one of the most important energy projects of recent time – the gas interconnection between Lithuania and Poland under construction. The state flag of Lithuania sized 300 square meters is flying behind Elektrėnai, next to the new international gas pipeline under construction which will interconnect the Baltic and Finnish gas markets with Western Europe.
Since the beginning of this year, with active works of the gas interconnection Poland-Lithuania (GIPL) being performed, Amber Grid has paid compensations in the amount of around EUR 1.3 million to land owners for the gas pipeline route extending along their land plots.
