Gas Interconnection Poland–Lithuania
Gas Interconnection Poland–Lithuania (GIPL) is a gas pipeline between Poland and Lithuania. The pipeline was commissioned and started commercial operation on 1 May 2022. The length of the pipeline is and the natural gas can flow both directions. The pipeline will run from Jauniūnai natural gas compression station (GCS) in eastern Lithuania to the Hołowczyce GCS station in eastern Poland. The project was implemented by gas transmission system operators AB Amber Grid (Lithuania) and Gaz-System SA (Poland). The completion of GIPL integrated Lithuania, together with the other two Baltic states and Finland, into the European Union (EU) gas transmission system. History Although the idea of gas interconnection between Poland and Lithuania can be traced as early as 1992, more active preparatory works started in 2008–2009. At that time, Poland considered interconnection with neighbouring states and construction of an LNG terminal in Swinoujscie. During these years the first a ...

Agency For The Cooperation Of Energy Regulators
The European Union Agency for the Cooperation of Energy Regulators (ACER) is an Agency of the European Union created under the terms of the Third Energy Package of 2009. It was established in 2010 and has its seat in Ljubljana, Slovenia. The basis for the establishment of ACER is Regulation 713/2009 of the European Parliament and the Council of 13 July 2009. The regulation describes the establishment and the legal status, tasks, organisation, and financial provisions. It was reestablished in 2019 by directive (EU) 2019/942 ACER is the second intergovernmental organization headquartered in Slovenia. The first was the International Center for Promotion of Enterprises (ICPE). Tasks The Agency: * complements and coordinates the work of national regulatory authorities, * participates in the creation of European network rules, * takes, under certain conditions, binding individual decisions on terms and conditions for access and operational security for cross border infrastructure ...

Natural Gas Pipelines In Poland
Nature is an inherent character or constitution, particularly of the ecosphere or the universe as a whole. In this general sense nature refers to the laws, elements and phenomena of the physical world, including life. Although humans are part of nature, human activity or humans as a whole are often described as at times at odds, or outright separate and even superior to nature. During the advent of modern scientific method in the last several centuries, nature became the passive reality, organized and moved by divine laws. With the Industrial Revolution, nature increasingly became seen as the part of reality deprived from intentional intervention: it was hence considered as sacred by some traditions (Rousseau, American transcendentalism) or a mere decorum for divine providence or human history (Hegel, Marx). However, a vitalist vision of nature, closer to the pre-Socratic one, got reborn at the same time, especially after Charles Darwin. Within the various uses of the word t ...

Lithuania–Poland Relations
Poland and Lithuania established diplomatic relations from the 13th century, after the Grand Duchy of Lithuania under king Mindaugas acquired some of the territory of Rus' people, Rus' and thus established a border with the History of Poland during the Piast dynasty, then-fragmented Kingdom of Poland (1138–1320), Kingdom of Poland. Polish–Lithuanian relations subsequently improved, ultimately leading to a personal union between the two states. From the mid-16th to the late-18th century Poland and Lithuania merged to form the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth, a state that was dissolved following their partitions of Poland, partition by Austria, Prussia and Russia. After the two states regained independence following the First World War, Polish–Lithuanian relations steadily worsened due to rising nationalist sentiments. Competing claims to the Vilnius region led to armed conflict and deteriorating relations in the interwar period. During the Second World War Polish and Lithuanian ...

Energy In Poland
The Polish energy sector is the fifth largest in Europe. In recent years, Poland has been reducing its reliance on coal, increasing its wind and solar power capacity, and introducing nuclear power to diversify its energy mix and reduce carbon emissions. In 2023, solar energy expanded by 51.39%, followed by a 26.61% increase in 2024. Meanwhile, hard coal saw a significant decline, dropping by 16.96% in 2024. By the end of 2024, the Nameplate capacity, installed generation capacity had reached 61.092 GW, while Electric energy consumption, electricity consumption for that year was 168.956 TWh and electricity generation, generation was 166.990 TWh, with 28.8% of this coming from Renewable energy, renewables. In detail, the data presents as follows: Poland's 2040 energy plan Poland's energy and climate policies are primarily outlined in two documents: the National Energy and Climate Plan (NECP), which is mandatory for all countries in the European Union (EU), and th ...

Energy In Lithuania
Lithuania is a net energy importer. In 2019 Lithuania used around 11.4 TWh of electricity after producing just 3.6 TWh. Systematic diversification of energy imports and resources is Lithuania's key energy strategy. Long-term aims were defined in the National Energy Independence strategy in 2012 by Lietuvos Seimas. It was estimated that strategic energy independence initiatives will cost 6.3–7.8 billion in total and provide annual savings of 0.9-1.1 billion. In light of the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine and Russia's weaponization of energy supplies, Lithuania was among the best equipped countries in Central and Eastern Europe to deal with the energy crisis. This is because ever since the reestablishment of its independence, Lithuania has been investing in alternative energy import routes. These included the development of the Būtingė oil terminal, the electricity interconnections NordBalt and LitPol Link, the Klaipėda LNG terminal and the Gas Interconnection Pol ...

FSRU Independence
FSRU ''Independence'', delivered in March 2014 is a LNG carrier designed as a floating LNG storage and regasification unit (FSRU) owned by KN Energies (previously owned by Höegh Evi) to be used as a LNG import terminal in Lithuania. The vessel can store of natural gas and can supply all of Lithuania's need for natural gas. The vessel started operating in the autumn of 2014. Built by Hyundai in South Korea, it arrived at Klaipėda on 27 October 2014, after a five-month cruise. Charterer KN Energies has made a decision to purchase the FSRU from its owner Leif Höegh & Co no later than December 2024 which marks the end of 10-year term lease agreement executed between the parties. On 6 December 2024, the Klaipėda LNG terminal operator, the state-owned KN Energies (formerly Klaipėdos Nafta), officially bought the FSRU from the Norwegian company Höegh Evi (formerly Hoegh LNG) for USD 153.5 million, and the same day the FSRU was registered in the Lithuanian Register of Se ...

Projects Of Common Interest
Projects of Common Interest (PCIs) is a category of projects launched in 2013, which the European Commission has identified as a key priority to interconnect the energy infrastructure in the European Union. These projects are eligible to receive public funds. The PCI list is reviewed every two years. Since 2014, it is synoymously used with the term "Important Project of Common European Interest" (IPCEI) and includes innovation in microelectronics and communication technologies. Mission, history In April 2013, the EU decided to codify "Projects of Common Interest" for cross-border energy projects, aiming to achieve EU energy policy and climate objectives. These are affordable, secure and sustainable energy for all its citizens, and its 2050 decarbonisation of the economy in accordance with the Paris Agreement. Major infrastructure facilities that connect energy networks across the union boost the use of renewables and ensure that clean, secure and affordable energy can reach all ...
