Germany and Poland getting connected

The European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) is to spend €9.2mn on developing new gas energy interconnectors between Germany and Poland, the European Commission has announced. The funding involves the construction of two gas transfer pipelines from Lasów-Jeleniów and Gałów-Kiełczów, linking south-west Poland’s gas networks to eastern Germany. The money will also expand Poland’s Wierzchowice underground gas storage facility, which is part of the same network.
