The new Baltic pipe from Norway to Poland, which opened on Saturday, is not yet sending gas from Norway but from Germany, Norwegian systems operator Gasco said on Tuesday.
Gas from Norway should start flowing “a few days in October”, but there is no exact date yet, a Gasco spokesman said, adding that the delay is because a terminal in Nybro in western Denmark is not yet ready.
“Gas are being supplied from Germany to the Baltic pipe from Denmark to Poland,” the spokesman said.
Poland’s Gaz-Systems confirmed the start of gas flow through the Baltic pipe on Saturday, but did not specify the source of the gas.
“From 1 October the flow through the Baltic Pipe gas pipeline to Poland is in accordance with customer enrollment,” a Gaz-Systems spokesman said on Tuesday.
Data from Gaz-Systems shows that enrollment increased from 61,084,535 kilowatt hours (kWh) per day for Saturday to 62,148,788 kWh/day on Monday.
Baltic Pipes is a joint project between Danish systems operator Energinate and Poland’s Gaz-Systems and is the focus of Polish efforts to diversify away from Russian gas.
The gas currently flowing may have originated in Norway, arriving via one of Gasco’s two receiving terminals in Germany before being transported to Denmark.
Gasco said that once the gas exits his system, he has no idea where it flows next.
