Dentons’ Public Procurement and Government Contracts team in Warsaw advised Solar Turbines Europe in its successful bid in a tender for the supply and maintenance of a set of compressor units for the Baltic Pipe project. The units will be used in the three gas compressor stations in Goleniów, Gustorzyn and Odolanów, Poland.

The Baltic Pipe is a pan-European strategic project involving the construction of a sea gas pipeline across the North Sea and the Baltic Sea with an enhancement of the Polish and Danish gas transmission grids. Upon completion, the project will contribute to the creation of a ‘gas corridor’ facilitating the transmission of natural gas from Norway to Denmark, Poland and neighboring countries. At the same time, it will enable gas transfers from Poland to Sweden and Denmark.

On August 14, 2019, the parties signed the contracts for the supply and maintenance of the compressor units at an official ceremony attended by Piotr Naimski, Government Plenipotentiary Strategic Energy Infrastructure, Georgette Mosbacher, US Ambassador in Poland, among others.

Operator Gazociągów Przesyłowych GAZ-SYSTEM is the contracting authority in charge of the implementation of the Baltic Pipe project.

Dentons lawyers advised Solar Turbines Europe in all phases of the tender, including pre-qualification, negotiations with the contracting authority, preparation and submission of the bid. They also assisted in the execution of two contracts: the contract for the sale, supervision and technical consulting of compressor units, and the compressor unit maintenance contract for the Goleniów, Odolanów and Gustorzyn compressor stations.
