Gas project of the Three Seas Initiative is already operating

09 May 2022

Poland-Lithuania gas pipeline, i.e. transborder interconnector linking the Polish and Lithuanian systems of gas transmission has just been put into operation. It will also make it possible to transmit gas to Latvia and Estonia. This strategic and essential gas infrastructure is an important step for the Three Seas Initiative and the European Union.

The cost of the investment amounted to EUR 500 million. The operators of the project are the Polish GAZ SYSTEM S.A. and the Lithuanian AB Amber Grid. The interconnector is 522 km long and it connects the gas compressor station Rembelszczyzna in the Mazowieckie Region with the compressor station Jauniunai in Lithuania. Connecting the systems of gas transmission has received EUR 300 million from the EU budget.

The interconnector gives additional possibilities, diversifying supplies and their sources. Thanks to it, we increase our energy security. – Tomorrow, thanks to our terminal, the gas will flow to Poland. It is the best and strongest reaction to Russia’s actions. We are not surprised by them. History repeats itself – said President of Lithuania Gitanas Nauseda.

Thanks to the new interconnector, almost 2 billion m³ of gas will flow to us from Lithuania– it is around 10% of the Poland’s demand. It is a further investment in infrastructure, which will strengthen even more the significance of Poland as an important country in the UE gas issue.

The 6 th edition of the Three Seas Local Government Congress will be held May 27-28, 2026, under the Honorary Patronage of the President of the Republic of Poland, Karol Nawrocki. This distinction recognises the growing importance of the event, which has become a key platform for cooperation among the countries of Central and Eastern Europe, both in the economic and infrastructural dimensions.

Over five editions of the Congress (2020–2025), more than 5,000 participants from 24 countries have taken part, 104 discussion panels have been held, and 64 foreign delegations have visited Lublin. The scale and international character of the event confirm its increasing role in shaping dialogue across the Three Seas region.

We, the countries representing Central and Eastern Europe (…) through the Three Seas Initiative, Via Baltica, and Via Carpatia, share not only our voice and vision of building a civic community, but also tangible results showing that the Baltic States and the countries of Central and Eastern Europe are capable of implementing major infrastructure projects, emphasised President Karol Nawrocki during his visit to Vilnius last month.

These words perfectly capture the spirit of the Three Seas Congress, which brings together political, academic, and business communities around a shared goal, building a strong, integrated, and cooperative Central and Eastern Europe.

It is also worth noting that in April 2025, Poland hosted the 10th Three Seas Initiative Summit. During the event, participants emphasised the importance of infrastructure and economic cooperation in the region and the need to strengthen cohesion across Central and Eastern Europe. This year, the cooperation format has been expanded to include new members – Albania and Montenegro joined the Three Seas Initiative in the capacity of associated participating states, while Spain and Turkey became new strategic partners. It has already been announced that the 11th Summit will take place in Croatia in 2026.

We cordially invite you to take part in the Three Seas Local Government Congress! Registration will open in the end of January. More details will soon be available at www.congress.lubelskie.pl and on our social media channels.
