Currently undergoing a significant expansion, Grain LNG will soon have enough regasification capacity to service approximately one third of the UK's gas demand, serving as a gateway to the UK energy market as well as the broader European region. The UK has recently seen a significant rise in LNG imports as Europe has diversified its LNG sources.

With volumes across its projects - Calcasieu Pass, Plaquemines LNG and CP2 LNG - this investment will bolster Venture Global's status as a strategic supplier to Europe. This flexibility and access to Venture Global's volumes will be critical to the UK and Europe's efforts to replace LNG volumes from other suppliers. To date, Venture Global has exported about 75% of its cargoes to Europe. 

Mike Sabel, CEO of Venture Global said: "Venture Global is thrilled to announce our first investment in LNG infrastructure outside of the United States, bolstering our ability to supply LNG from all our projects. The Grain LNG terminal is an important gateway to the broader European market, and we look forward to supplying the region through this new access point for years to come." 

Katie Jackson, President of National Grid Ventures said: "I'm delighted that we are today able to announce the second result from our September auction, commencing a long term partnership with Venture Global. LNG imports play a critical role in making sure the whole of the UK has the gas it needs, when it needs it, providing a flexible and reliable supply of gas to heat peoples' homes.

The UK has recently seen a significant rise in LNG imports as Europe has sought alternative energy sources. The addition of our first US customer further diversifies our supplier base, underpins UK consumers' energy security and guarantees the future of our world-class site out to 2045."
