石油设备网讯 据世界能源网 2019年4月26日伦敦报道,波兰政府和Polskie液化天然气(LNG)公司4月24日签署了一项拨款协议来扩建位于波罗的海沿岸波兰西北部Świnoujście的 LNG终端。
来自欧洲区域发展基金的近1.28亿欧元的资金将用于扩建这个LNG终端,Świnoujście LNG终端是欧洲北部、中部和东部唯一一个具有这种规模的设施。
欧盟区域政策专员Corina Creţu说:“Świnoujście LNG终端的扩建将帮助天然气供应来源的多样化,提高国家的能源安全。这是正在运转中的得到凝聚政策支持的能源联盟的一个新例子。”
自2007年以来,已有超过2.5亿欧元的凝聚政策基金投资于这个终端,超过20亿欧元的资金投资于波兰的能源基础设施。
与就在上周签署的2.15亿美元拨款的波罗的海管线项目一起,这个位于Świnoujście的新LNG终端将向新的供应商开放波兰的天然气市场来加强波兰能源来源的的多样性和安全。
从2022年起,波罗的海管线项目将允许从北海向波兰市场以及更远的波罗的海国家和邻国输送天然气。与此同时,这条管线还将使从波兰通过LNG终端向丹麦和瑞典市场供应天然气成为可能。

EU Funding for Polish LNG Terminal Expansion
The Polish government and the Polskie LNG company signed a grant agreement on 24 April for the extension of the Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) terminal in Świnoujście, in north-western Poland on the Baltic Sea coast.
Almost EUR 128 million from the European Regional Development Fund is invested in extending this terminal, which is the only facility of its size in Northern, Central and Eastern Europe.
Commissioner for Regional Policy Corina Creţu said: "The extension of the Świnoujście terminal will help diversify natural gas supply sources and improve the country’s energy security. This is a new example of the Energy Union in motion, supported by Cohesion Policy."
The current investment comes on top of more than €250 million of Cohesion Policy funds already invested in the terminal and more than €2 billion invested in Polish energy infrastructure since 2007.
Together with the ‘Baltic Pipe’ project, for which a €215 million EU grant was signed just last week, the new LNG terminal in Świnoujście will open Poland’s gas market to new suppliers enhancing the diversity and security of energy sources in Poland.
The Baltic pipe will allow, as of 2022, the shipment of gas from the North Sea to the Polish market and further to the Baltic States and neighbouring countries. At the same time, the pipeline will enable the supply of gas from Poland, via the LNG terminal, to the Danish and Swedish markets.
