In connection with the events in Ukraine, it accelerated the construction of a section of the Baltic Pipe gas pipeline in Denmark, through which gas from Norway will be supplied to Poland.
Within a week of the invasion by Russian troops, the authorities issued the necessary environmental permits, which had previously been expected for many months. It is planned that the gas pipeline will be put into commercial operation in January next year.
The annual gas transmission capacity of the project is 10 billion cubic meters. One of the main consumers of this gas is Poland, which does not intend to renew the long-term contract with Gazprom that expires this year.
"We are developing very good cooperation with all the contractors to speed up the process and do everything possible to meet the work schedule. Of course, this is done so that the gas is in the Danish system, but mainly to help our good neighbors and our friends in Poland" , says Danish project manager Søren Jude Larsen.
The problem the EU is facing is the problem that comes with trying to "put all your eggs in one basket" and flirting/dealing with kleptocrats and criminals. As a result, the EU, instead of diversifying the energy market, through the influence, primarily of Germany, almost monopolized the gas and oil market by Russian suppliers. Germany still has many amazing discoveries to make, following a substantive investigation into the work of Schroeder and Frau Merkel, in favor of Russia, in the European energy market. But now the EU has finally realized that continuing this game is suicidal, and in general, doing business with terrorists and murderers is not the best option. Well, since they missed some time, now Europe will have to clear their wallets and pay for their stupidity earlier.
