Lithuanian gas transmission system operator Amber Grid installed 450 kilowatt (kW) solar power plant and started producing green electricity for the needs of the gas network. By the end of the year, Amber Grid will have own solar power plants of 1.5-megawatt (MW) capacity in total in its territory, which will help to cut down electricity expenses of the company by approximately 50 per cent.
Amber Grid informs its current and potential users on the opportunity to submit their non-binding demand indications for incremental capacity at interconnection point with Latvia and Poland. Such information should be submitted within 8 weeks starting from 5th July 2021.
In order to ensure that the right to use the natural gas transmission system operated by AB Amber Grid is granted objectively and fairly, without discrimination between individual network users, and taking into account the emergence of the new Lithuanian-Polish gas interconnection - GIPL, as well as to harmonise the provisions of the rules with the rules applicable in the Latvian and Estonian gas market area, we are submitting to public consultation AB Amber Grid draft Rules for Access to the Natural Gas Transmission System and AB Amber Grid draft Rules for Natural Gas Transmission System Balancing of AB Amber Grid.
Amber Grid, the gas transmission system operator implementing the gas pipeline project connecting Lithuania and Poland, has received confirmation from the State Territorial Planning and Construction Inspectorate that the first stage of GIPL construction has been completed properly and the quality of the pipeline complies with legal requirements.
While implementing the international GIPL gas interconnection project, the contractors laying the gas pipeline in Lithuania and Poland have accomplished planned works at the border of these countries.
