ISLE OF GRAIN LNG TERMINAL

The project has been identified as a TEN project of common interest by the European Council and comprises the conversion of an existing peak shaving LNG production plant on the Isle of Grain into an importation terminal for LNG. The project aims at providing natural gas to the greater London area, UK’s main gas consumption zone, from LNG imports. This cost-efficient solution benefits much from the existing Grain LNG plant facilities and their existing connection to the national gas transmission system.

The Project will provide substantial gas import and peak supply capacity. It is expected to make an important contribution to filling the expected gas supply gap between rising demand and declining indigenous supply of the UK.

The schemes included in the project fall under Annex I of Directive 97/11/EC. A full Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) has been carried out, planning permission has been received, and mitigating measures are applied as appropriate.

The project falls under the Directive 93/38/EC and its amendment 98/4/EC. The promoter has confirmed to comply with respective requirements.
