01/04/2021 Kassel. After just over two and half years of construction, the European gas pipeline link EUGAL has now reached its full transport capacity with two strings and a compressor station. The first string has already been transporting natural gas since 1 January 2020. The second string and the compressor station went into operation today and expand the transport capacity to up to 55 billion m³ of natural gas per year. EUGAL is a joint project between the transmission system operators GASCADE Gastransport GmbH, Gasunie Deutschland Transport Services GmbH, Fluxys Deutschland GmbH and ONTRAS Gastransport GmbH. “We are proud to have successfully completed this project. EUGAL is an important component in Europe's energy supply,” explains Christoph von dem Bussche, Managing Director of GASCADE. Managing Director Igor Uspenskiy goes on to say: “The pipeline now has a transport capacity of up to 55 billion m³ of natural gas per year. By comparison: Germany annually consumes more th

31/08/2023 With the entry in the commercial register on August 31, 2023, the 80 percent fractional ownership of W & G Transport Holding GmbH (WGTH) in the Baltic Sea Pipeline Link (OPAL) was transferred to GASCADE Gastransport GmbH (GASCADE) by way of spin-off of the regulated part of the operation. The fractional ownership part of WGTH, which, until June 30, 2023, was partially exempt from regulation, has been operated since its commissioning at the end of 2011 by OPAL Gastransport GmbH & Co. KG (OGT), which has also marketed its share of OPAL's transport capacity. Following the decision by the Federal Network Agency to revoke the partial exemption from regulation granted to OGT in 2009, WGTH's former OPAL fractional ownership share has been fully regulated since July 1, 2023. The transfer of the now fully regulated operations to GASCADE, a certified independent transmission operator, takes this into account. GASCADE's pipeline system is now more than 3,700 kilome

18/01/2024 With the Above Water Tie-In (AWTI), the pipe-laying work in the two sea sections of the OAL is now complete. The pipeline has fully been connected through and laid on the seabed. The 50-kilometer-long pipeline connects the planned LNG terminal in the port of Mukran with the German gas transmission network in Lubmin. After receiving approval for the first sea section, the OAL has been built within a very short time since 21 August 2023. "This means that the ambitious goal of enabling gas feed-ins into this pipeline in the winter of 2023/24 has been achieved. This is the contribution we can make as a transmission system operator to improving German and European security of supply and its resilience to crises. Despite a very ambitious schedule, we managed to complete the OAL in record time. My sincere thanks go to all those involved in the implementation," says Ulrich Benterbusch, Managing Director of GASCADE Gastransport GmbH (GASCADE). Before the OAL can be put int

July 02, 2021 North Sea Midstream Partners Limited (“NSMP”) is pleased to confirm that on 1st July 2021 the NSMP Frigg UK Association (“FUKA”) pipeline received first gas from the Martin Linge field , for onward processing in the NSMP St. Fergus Gas Terminal. This landmark event marks the first time that significant volumes of gas originating from the Norwegian continental shelf have been transported via the FUKA system. NSMP worked closely with its operating partner px Limited and Equinor to coordinate a safe start-up of the gas export and NSMP looks forward to providing best-in-class gas transportation and processing services to the Martin Linge owners.
