EUGAL (European Gas Pipeline Link) will reach full transport capacities by the second quarter of 2021. The reason for the new schedule is unforeseen delays in the construction of the new gas infrastructure. The original plan envisaged full commissioning for 1 January 2021.

The first string of EUGAL went into operation on 1 January 2020 and has been transporting natural gas since then. It has a transport capacity of up to 30.9 billion m³ of gas per year. EUGAL’s full capacity of up to 55 billion m³ of gas per year will be available following completion of the second string and the Radeland 2 compressor station.

GASCADE is implementing the EUGAL pipeline project together with the transmission system operators Fluxys Deutschland GmbH, Gasunie Deutschland Transport Services GmbH and Ontras Gastransport GmbH.

About EUGAL

EUGAL is a natural gas pipeline that will extend over a length of some 480 kilometers from the Baltic Sea through Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania and Brandenburg via southern Saxony to the border with the Czech Republic and will largely comprise two parallel strings. EUGAL will be built with one string in Saxony, running southwards from Lampertswalde (Meißen district) to Deutschneudorf (Erzgebirgskreis district) at the German/Czech border. A natural gas export station with a gas pressure regulating and metering station is also planned in Deutschneudorf. With the construction of the EUGAL, GASCADE is responding to the growing demand for natural gas and transport capacity in Europe.
