Annual Report
The following storage facility is currently under
construction:
the Kosakowo Underground Gas Storage Cavern
Facility
– high-methane gas storage facility, to
be located in the vicinity of the Gdańsk-Gdynia-
Sopot agglomeration. The project provides for the
construction of 10 caverns in a salt deposit. The
construction of initially 100 million cubic metres of
the storage capacity is scheduled to be completed
by 2014, while its further expansion to 250 million
cubic metres is to be completed by 2020.
In 2010, under the EU’s Infrastructure and Environ‑
ment Operational Programme, PGNiG and the Oil
and Gas Institute of Kraków executed an agree‑
ment on co-fnancing of the following projects:
“The Wierzchowice Underground Gas Storage
Facility” (up to PLN 503.6m), “The Kosakowo Un‑
derground Gas Storage Cavern Facility” (up to PLN
93.5m), “The Strachocina Underground Gas Stor‑
age Facility” (up to PLN 53.2 m) and “The Mogilno
Underground Gas Storage Cavern Facility” (up to
PLN 23.1m). The amount of co-fnancing depends
on the fulflment of a number of conditions speci‑
fed in the respective agreements.
