The project consists of installing infrastructure to accommodate a floating LNG storage and regasification vessel in the port of Klaipeda, Lithuania and connecting the facility to the national gas grid.
The project is a critical component of Lithuania’s energy strategy in line with the EU regulation on security of supply and specifically the N-1 principle, which requires backup for gas supply failures and diversification of energy sources.
The project will require an EIA per the Environmental Impact Assessment Directive (2011/92/EU).
The promoter is required to tender works, supplies and services contracts following procurement rules of relevant national and EU legislation, as defined by Directive 2004/17/EC, including publication in the Official Journal of the EU where appropriate.
