As part of the project, it is planned to build a high-pressure gas network DN300, 8.4 MPa with a length of 52.655 km, the Latkowo-Wrzosy route. The projected pipeline will replace the existing one with a diameter of DN 150. The investment is part of a larger project called ‘Construction of the Latkowo-Wrzosy-Nakło nad Notecią-Sępólno Krajeńskie-Pawłowo gas pipeline and the infrastructure necessary for its operation in the Kujawsko-Pomorskie and Pomorskie provinces’, which includes the construction of the high-pressure section of the DN 300 MOP 8.4 MPa Latkowo-Wrzosy gas pipeline and the infrastructure, from the inclusion of the Kruszwica-Latkowo high-pressure gas pipeline DN 350 (in the ZZU ozn. Z-230 in Latkowo, commune of Inowrocław), to the planned junction in Wrzosy, commune of Szubin – a section with a total length of 52,655 km with simultaneous inclusion in the existing DN 150 pipelines (2 units). The need to implement the Project results from the fact that in the area of implementation and impact of the Project there are distribution restrictions in the high-pressure pipeline network, which prevent the connection of new customers, moreover, the technical condition of the existing DN150 pipeline on the Latkowo-Wrzosy section is poor and its technical parameters are insufficient. This pipeline, built in the 80s of the last century, is characterized by a high failure rate. The problems are described in more detail in Chapter 3.1.2 of the feasibility study accompanying the proposal. Tasks carried out as part of the Project have a set of decisions necessary for the implementation of the investment, required by the Construction Law. The direct objective of the Project is to improve the quality and safety of operation and the development of smart gas networks, as well as to increase their importance in the modern, green energy system in the area of the Project's impact. The benefits of the project will be: • development of smart gas grids ensuring reliable gas supply to 24 797 customers located in the area of impact of the Project, • improving the investment attractiveness of municipalities in which the Project will be implemented by increasing the connection potential both for new RES generation sources and for new customers. • creating the possibility of decommissioning coal-fired energy sources by connecting new customers. • ensuring energy security for the economy by implementing the project and increasing the volume potential of decarbonised gases transported and distributed, i.e. biomethane, • increasing the use of smart functionalities (so-called smart grids) in distribution networks – thanks to the functionalities included in the project. The Applicant intends to carry out information and promotion activities for the Project in accordance with the instructions of the Manual of the Applicant and Beneficiary of European Funds for 2021-2027 in the field of information and promotion. Educational activities are also planned as part of the project. A description of these activities is provided in section 6.3 of the Feasibility Study.
