Amber Grid announced the launch of the GIPL gas pipeline between Poland and Lithuania

Relevant information is available on the website of the main operator of natural gas transportation in Lithuania Amber Grid.

“On May 1, 2022, as planned, the GIPL gas pipeline connecting Poland and Lithuania was launched, transferring the first gas flows,” the report says.

It is noted that the launch of the gas pipeline made it possible to integrate the Baltic countries and Finland into the European gas market, and also strengthened the energy independence of the region.

Earlier, Gazprom announced a complete suspension of gas supplies to the Bulgarian Bulgargaz and the Polish PGNiG due to non-payment in rubles.

Economist Vasily Koltashov, in an interview with PolitExpert, spoke about the situation with the supply of energy resources to Europe.
