3 The Baltic Pipe Project GAZ-SYSTEM and Energinet.dk will investigate the possibilities for construction of the Baltic Pipe Project in order to export gas from Norway to Poland via Denmark The project consist of the following main parts: A. Connection to the Norwegian gas system B. Onshore enhancement of the Danish gas infrastructure C. Compressor station located on Danish shore D. Offshore pipeline between Denmark and Poland including receiving terminal and connection to existing Polish gas infrastructure 3

4 Purpose The project aims at creating a new supply corridor for gas to the EU gas market and thereby achieving three main goals: Integrating the Danish-Swedish and Polish gas markets by means of supply competition and bidirectional trading with the aim of ensuring increased price convergence. Strengthening regional security of supply by providing access to Norwegian gas for the Danish-Swedish and Polish gas markets and additionally for the markets in the wider Central and Eastern Europe. Further increase the load-factor of existing infrastructure in order to reduce tariffs to the benefit of users of the infrastructure. 4

5 Feasibility Study supported by EU CEF Energinet.dk and GAZ-SYSTEM S.A. are currently conducting a study on the feasibility of the envisaged project. The feasibility study is to test the feasibility of the project from a commercial and technical point of view and provide guidance for the potential future implementation of the project. Conclusions of the study are expected by the end of

12 What are the elements in the OS process? Open Season Mechanism for collecting long-term investment signals for new capacity from the market. In a Open Season, a shipper signs a long-term contract that totally or partially secures the economy of the project. Order to Proceed An instrument that makes it possible to collect a binding commitment from one or more shippers early in the Open Season process that shows that the shippers are willing to buy long-term capacity in the coming expansion of the transmission system. 12

13 Why an OtP for this project? The OtP is necessary in order to meet the market demand for the capacity as of 1 October If an OtP is not received, the necessary analysis and planning earlier in the project cannot be initiated in time to reach the above deadline To secure that the costs for starting up the analysis early are covered, if no binding bid is provided from the OtP bidder in the binding phase of the Open Season The project will require that the total amount requested from the market in the OtP must be above a certain threshold to start up the next phase of the technical analysis To start optimising the projects economy and technic 13
