EemsEnergyTerminal has launched an open season for the storage and regassification of LNG after 2027 in the Eemshaven in the Netherlands.
EemsEnergyTerminal is a subsidiary of Gasunie and Royal Vopak. The LNG terminal is developed in 2022 to increase energy security in the Netherlands and North West Europe.
EemsEnergyTerminal has invited market parties to formulate a non-binding expression of interest (EOI). More information on the terminal and the open season is available on the company’s webpage.
In the summer of 2024, Gasunie and Vopak, each with a 50% stake in the EemsEnergyTerminal, together with the Dutch Ministry of Climate Policy and Green Growth (formerly the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Climate Policy), announced that they would look into the possibility of keeping the terminal in operation longer. The terminal was developed in September 2022 to increase energy security in the Netherlands and north-western Europe immediately following the loss of Russian gas supplies and was originally planned to run up to the end of 2027.
