Background

The Arc de Dierrey is a natural gas pipeline developed by French energy company GRTgaz. The pipeline was commissioned in 2015, with the goal of improving the flexibility of France's natural gas distribution network and transporting gas to northeastern France from the new Dunkirk LNG Terminal. The pipeline was classified as a project of common interest (PCI) by the European Commission, with an investment of €1.185 billion.
