According to the Polish gas pipeline operator, gas has begun to flow via the new Baltic Pipe network from Norway to Poland via Denmark and the Baltic Sea.
The pipeline is at the heart of Poland’s plan, which was developed years before Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine in February, to diversify its gas supply away from Russia.
A Gaz-System spokeswoman told the Reuters news agency that flows started at 6:10 am (4:10 GMT) and nominations, or requests for sending gas through the pipeline on October 1, totalled 62.4 million kilowatt-hours.
