FREDERICIA, Denmark —Energinet planned a temporary shutdown today of the Baltic Pipe system that transports gas from fields offshore Norway to Denmark and Poland.
The system is operating close to full capacity but needs to be suspended to enable connection of the compressor station in Denmark’s southern region, after which the gas flow will gradually increase.
Baltic Pipe should reach full capacity on Wednesday, with full-year volumes of up to 10 Bcm.
During the shutdown, gas supplies will continue from the North Sea to the reception terminal in Western Jutland.
The system comprises a 110-km offshore pipeline from Norway's Europipe II system to the reception terminal, and a longer pipeline in the Baltic Sea between Denmark and Poland.
