NATGAS

The Balticconnector natural gas pipeline connecting Finland and Estonia will be recommissioned on 22 April, TSO Elering said.

  • The sea section of the connection between Estonia and Finland has now been reconnected into a single unit, the TSO said.
  • The 77 km Balticconnector pipeline between Inkoo in Finland and Paldiski in Estonia was shut down on 8 October following a leak.
  • As part of the repairs, Gasgrid said in November it aims to increase northbound transmission capacity of the pipeline. The pipeline will in the future get a base capacity of 70.5GWh/d of gas in the direction from Estonia to Finland, up from a previous 65GWh/d during summer months and 55-60GWh/d in winter, Gasgrid said.
  • The increase in volumes could follow shortly after the repairs are done, Gasgrid said.
