UK’s largest gas storage site Rough unlikely to hit capacity by Christmas despite hope of easing winter crisis The Rough facility in the North Sea has reopened after closing in 2017 – but it is not yet operational 🔴 Exclusive from cahalmilmo
It now seems unlikely that Rough will be in a position to provide more than one per cent of the UK’s peak demand this winter, as engineers seek to fill the reservoir with sufficient gas – known as “cushion” gas – to ensure an adequate outflow.
“I would say that technical constraints mean Rough will provide minimal benefit this winter unless those constraints are resolved.” Rough sits 18 miles off the North Yorkshire coast. Centrica has been granted permission to fill it to about 25 per cent of its capacity this winter, rising to about 50 per cent or 1.6bcm next year.
But it is understood additional equipment such as compressors are likely to be required to reach such a “withdrawal” rate if sufficient cushion levels cannot be achieved.
