Jan 30 (Reuters) - Dutch liquefied natural gas (LNG)
terminal EemsEnergyTerminal will not send any gas into the Dutch
gas system until Feb. 6, and will operate at lower capacity
until March 1, transparency data showed on Monday.
The terminal stopped sending out gas on Jan. 13, initially
until today, but has now extended the full outage until Feb. 6,
it said via a transparency message.
Additionally, the operator also announced that capacity to
send gas from the terminal will be cut by around two-thirds to
83 gigawatt hours (GWh) per day.
The Netherlands built the Eemshaven terminal, which has a
capacity of 8 billion cubic metres (bcm), last year to cut its
dependence on Russian gas.
It complemented the larger Gate Terminal in Rotterdam, now
operating at 16 bcm capacity and which is planning a further 4
bcm expansion by 2025.
