Description
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.
Objectifs
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.
