Jauniūnai natural gas compression station
Jauniūnai natural gas compression station is a gas compressor station in Lithuania, located in Jauniūnai, Širvintos District Municipality.[1] Capacity at the station is 34.5 MW.
The station will be the end point of the planned Gas Interconnection Poland–Lithuania.
History
[edit]Due to increasing natural gas consumption in Lithuania the existing gas compression station was not sufficient to service demand. In 2007 the Lithuanian National Energy Strategy Act was adopted with a new natural gas compression station project included.[2] Jauniūnai was selected due mainly to its location along the Minsk-Vilnius pipeline, the Vilnius-Kaunas-Kaliningrad pipeline and two threads of the Vilnius-Panevėžys-Riga pipeline.
In 2009 construction works started and were finished in 2010. The cost of construction was estimated at 200 million litas.[3]
