The Project has been identified as a TEN project of common interest by the European Council and comprises the expansion of an existing LNG import terminal on the Isle of Grain. The project aims at providing a cost-efficient solution to supplying natural gas to the UK market, which will benefit from the existing Grain LNG facilities and their 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 gas reserves 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 will be implemented under a fixed lump sum EPC contract that was awarded after restricted international tendering of pre-qualified companies.
