Claim: Skanled, which was supposedly made to have a six billion cubic meter capacity, was upgraded to seven billion cubic meter and is further planned to be connected to the Baltic Pipe, a newly constructed natural gas pipeline between the Norwegian sector of the North Sea and Poland.
Evidence: The originally planned capacity of the pipeline was 6 billion cubic meter (bcm) of natural gas per year. The plans were upgraded to 7 bcm. The likelihood of greater future demand from Denmark and Poland, which plan to connect Skanled through Denmark with other planned pipeline, the Baltic Pipe between Denmark and Poland, may lead to widen the diameter of the pipe from the initial design. The Baltic Pipe is under construction natural gas pipeline between the Norwegian sector of the North Sea and Poland.
