Baltic Gas Interconnector
- Baltic Gas Interconnector
The Baltic Gas Interconnector is a planned natural gas submarine pipeline between Germany, Denmark and Sweden. In Germany, landfall of the pipeline will be in Rostock area. The German onshore section includes a compressor station and a connection to the existing gas network. The length of offshore section is planned to be around 200 kilometers. The Danish landing point will be in Avedøre, and the pipeline will be connected with the Avedøre power plant. In Sweden, the landing point will be in Trelleborg and the Swedish onshore section will continue approximately 20 kilometers to the existing gas grid.
The pipeline will be designed for a pressure of convert|150|bar|MPa|abbr=on with a diameter of 28 to 32 inches (457 to 813 mm). The annual capacity is planned to be 3 billion cubic meter (bcm). The consortium to build the Baltic Gas Interconnector consists of DONG Energy (originally Energi E2), Hovedstadsregionens Naturgas (HNG), Verbundsnetz Gas AG (VNG), E.ON Sverige AB, Göteborgs Energi, Lunds Energi and Öresundskraft.
The feasibility study was completed in 2001 and the environmental impact assessment started in 2002. However, the Swedish government approved the plan only in 2005. The pipeline is expected to be completed in 2009.
