Description
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.
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 gas reserves of the UK.
