Germany has been putting import terminals for liquefied natural gas into operation as part of its efforts to replace piped Russian gas following Moscow's invasion of Ukraine in 2022.
The Brunsbuettel terminal received its floating storage regasification unit, the Hoegh Gannet, back on November 24 after upgrades, and Wilhelmshaven 2 has restarted its FSRU Excelsior ready for the coming winter months, state-appointed terminal company Deutsche Energy Terminal said.
DET, which is in charge of three terminal locations, has said it will rerun auctions for LNG landing capacity at Wilhelmshaven 1 and 2 in December, having so far failed to place a variety of slots. It has fed 59 terawatt hours into German grids so far this year.
Here are the details of developments at the sites:
MUKRAN
The terminal on Ruegen island in the Baltic Sea operated by private firm Deutsche ReGas supplies onshore grids with LNG from pipeline firm Gascade's OAL link, in cooperation with Norway's Hoegh Evi's FSRU Neptune.
It wants to restart a second FSRU eventually and restore full capacity of 13.5 billion cubic metres by 2027.
ReGas has launched a bidding round to expand Mukran's capacity by offering an additional 5 billion cubic metres per year
