OPAL Gastransport GmbH & Co. KG operates north-west Europe's largest natural gas pipeline, with a nominal diameter of 1,400 mm. The pipeline serves the further transport of natural gas to end customers in Europe.

The OPAL has a length of 473 kilometers and a capacity of 36 billion cubicmeters of natural gas per year. This is one third of the annual german demand of natural gas currently.

The pipeline leads from the Baltic Sea through Mecklenburg Western Pomerania, Brandenburg and Saxony to the Czech border in the near of the grid connection point Brandov. In the Compressor Station in Radeland (south of Berlin) the natural gas is compressed for the further transport to Brandov.
