OREANDA-NEWS The general contractor for the construction of the Lithuania-Poland gas pipeline (GIPL) – Alvora has been included by the Lithuanian authorities in the list of unreliable suppliers against the background of media information about the use of parts of Russian origin in the construction of the pipeline, BNS reports.
According to the list of unreliable suppliers provided by the Lithuanian Public Procurement Service, Alvora was added to it on March 15.
After the media reported that Amber Grid (the operator and customer of the gas pipeline construction) had identified deficiencies in the certification of parts, the prosecutor's office launched a pre-trial investigation.
There are about one and a half hundred tribes of possible Russian origin in the pipeline, their total cost is about 300 thousand euros. Alvora still does not disclose its manufacturers. According to the general contractor, Amber Grid's claim concerns only the compliance of documents.
The GIPL project worth almost 500 million euros was implemented by the operators of the Lithuanian and Polish gas transmission systems Amber Grid and Gaz-System. The pipeline was commissioned on May 1, 2022, when the first physical and commercial gas supplies began. The pipeline has an annual capacity of 2.1 billion cubic meters in the direction of Poland and about 2.7 billion cubic meters in Lithuania. Depending on the resources and the price, gas can be supplied in both directions.
