The below posts contain some key points that are of huge significance to us in relation to the positive contribution the development of the Islandmagee Gas storage project will make for the UK gas market and consumers in general. Well worth a read....

any gas shortage in Ireland has the potential to erode expected benefits from increased flexibility
and procurement services, while limiting the effectiveness of reliability options in guaranteing power supply. In addition, high uncertainty in wind generation exacerbates the exposure of
gas generators to spot price volatility, thus affecting their ability to economically operate gas
plants. Similarly, [5] argue that, despite the extra costs to install a storage facility, gas storage
avoids power generation limitations resulting from gas supply shortages and ensures power
system reliability. Furthermore, it has implications when considering the maximum absorption
capacity of renewable energy sources and their uncertainty. [47] also suggest that it will become
beneficial for electricity systems to invest in power-to-gas electrolysers. Such investments would
have a significant impact on gas supply and demand in Ireland.
Based on results in our study, we can therefore conclude that LNG and storage facilities
represent complementary investments. In the context of PCIs, both these investments contribute
to the competitiveness and diversification of gas markets. Furthermore, they are pivotal in
supporting the increasing integration between gas and power markets with high capacity of renewable energy sources.

The PCIs envisage the development of alternative sources of supply and supply routes to
Ireland [23]. The Shannon Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) import terminal, which was granted
planning permission in 2008, is listed on the EU PCIs. While construction for this project
has yet to begin, it would allow Ireland to import gas from the Atlantic Basin (incl. US) and
Middle East, thus bypassing the UK and providing Ireland with diversified gas supplies. The
development of the Islandmagee Underground Gas Storage (UGS) facility in Northern Ireland,
which is expected by 2021, would further improve the security of supply and the flexibility of the
gas market in Ireland. However, their implications for consumers are not addressed. Developing
a LNG import terminal would provide access to the increasingly competitive international gas
market, making the Irish gas market more competitive. The development of a storage facility
would allow the management of seasonal loads, thus reducing gas price volatility and the risks
of supply shortage. In the following section, we investigate what is the optimal and most competitive option for Irish consumers in 2025, i.e. when the Corrib field is expected to be
depleted and when LNG and storage facilities should be operational.
That is, the Irish storage facility allows for higher volumes of gas to be
imported into Ireland during the summer, when gas prices are lower compared to winter. These
volumes mostly come to Ireland through the UK. During winter, i.e. when gas demand is higher,
the storage facility allows the gas to flow back to the UK via the Moffat pipeline. Therefore, an
Irish storage facility would enable arbitrage opportunities in the gas markets to be exploited by
allowing the gas to be imported (and stored) into Ireland from the UK in the summer at lower
costs, and to be reexported to the UK in the winter, at higher costs.
Overall, evidence in Figure 9 implies that an Irish storage facility would reduce total expected
consumer costs
By investigating the impact of gas infrastructure outages on power systems, [45] argue that
lack of gas storage capacity in Ireland increases the risk profile of electricity generation, and in
turn generation costs. They estimate that a storage facility in Ireland can reduce generation
costs up to 40%. Potential under-investment in natural gas infrastructures can influence power
sector functioning in Ireland, especially when considering the high penetration of wind power.

Working Paper No. 606
December 2018
NTERESTING ANALYSIS OF THE IRISH GAS MARKET WITH REFERENCE TO THE ISLANDMAGEE GAS STORAGE PROJECT
First, we focus our analysis on the Irish and
UK natural gas markets in an integrated setting by considering investments in both LNG and
gas storage facilities. The Irish market is particularly interesting because Ireland is the only EU
country without LNG and storage facilities.
Second, our study is of interest for the European policy-makers, concerned about a secure,
affordable and diversified single energy system. Ireland is only connected to the European
energy system through the UK. In the absence of further gas routes, any bottleneck in the UK
gas market can have critical impacts on Ireland, thus compromising the achievement of a single EU-wide energy market, as mandated by the European Union.
In
2016, 40% of the Irish gas demand was satisfied through import from the UK, thus making
Ireland highly dependent on a single supply source. Nevertheless, Corrib production is expected
to decline quickly and deplete by 2025 [22]. The declining indigenous production in Ireland is of
particular concern among policy-makers, in particular when considering that the island’s only
energy link to the EU will disappear in March 2019, after Brexit.

Persistence pays Radders. Pleased for you. Infa best AIM stock in my portfolio by far - so far
Same numbers for me Radders. How many trading days left this year, 8,9 ? Not long to wait for massive news. It’ll happen, I know it will. Good luck to you and everyone else here.

ft market report.
"Infrastrata, the former Portland Gas, was marked 10.5 per cent higher at 95½p following warnings that some industrial customers in the UK could be cut off because of a surge in the demand for gas.
HOLY COW..............95 1/2P....................those were the days! Maybe they'll return????
Nice end to a good week here. Markets winding down for Christmas now I sense, however I see another climb north next week here with hopefully some ground breaking news before 2019. Fingers crossed.
Have a good weekend all.
Mr T
Gym done feet up, nice glass of red finally looking at my INFA holdings in reasonable profit after 6 years of small ups but mainly downs ..3-5p = retirement zone .. 11.6p would be the INFA yacht party .. cheers
O & W...'Is the pressure mounting on JW to clinch a firm equity funding deal for IM before everyone shuts up shop for the holiday season? He has said there would be a Q4 deal. But is he asking for too much to be agreed, in too short a time, given that the talks may also extend to a binding commitment to be involved also in the caverns after the first two? We shall know soon enough.'
Have no fear!
Don't forget the talks have been in a very advanced stage for a long while already......JW knows how to deliver to expectations......he's a winner!....it will be announced before the end of the month.......of that I have no doubt whatsoever!!.....it's what makes this investment spectacular.
It's certainly my best acting AIM share in the last turbulent month. And my largest holding too.
Let's hope early next week brings the concrete news we have been waiting for. GLA.
Closes at a year high and 9 posts on here!
Quality stocks don't need ramped!
Have a great weekend everyone
It will finish above the 0.8 and we won't look back
Close this year maybe : )?
Mid price...there she blows!
Must have finished if it's going up .they wanted it under .8 for the order
Primed for a move higher. Finance news will catapult this into new territory, or sink it. Personally I think the investment case is good. 3p in the next month hopefully!
Hoping the rocket launcher is being loaded
Since summer trying to break through the .80 barrier. Please John bring us LTH's and all recent INFA believers a very special Christmas present.
Nice and easy infa.
Hi All Good comments yesterday & those with funds now is the time to Buy is it not I am expecting the RNS next week so last chance at these prices INFA has delivered so far & will do so again !!!!!!
Good One,John !!
I'm ready Dawski question is are the MMs lol....they'll be running for the hills very soon when all hell breaks loose
Forget the MM's ..be ready ..very ready for the RNS !!
