Nov 10 (LNGJ) - National Grid plc, owner of the UK Isle of Grain LNG import terminal on the Medway River in Kent, reiterated the importance of LNG deliveries this winter. It said the scenarios facing the UK’s Gas System Operator are all dependent on flexible sources of imported gas supplies throughout winter, particularly LNG.
“Gas infrastructure in Great Britain has sufficient capability to meet peak demand this winter, but the outlook underlines the importance of imported gas throughout to meet demand. A potential shortfall in European gas supplies could impact the ability for the UK to import gas should it be required. The GSO has the physical, commercial and market based tools to manage a supply and demand imbalance, including those related to a Gas Supply Emergency, should it be necessary,” said the company in its earnings report.
