This was a good post that mcadder wrote a little while back that gives a good summary of infa :)
Here's a quick recap of one of my recent posts to give you an idea of the sheer value of the project and I've even amended the total amount invested to date from £11.5M to £13.5M as was pointed out to me the other day lol. The answer to your question re where could the SP go is anyone's guess but upon confirmation of an equity funding deal alone should see this hit 4-5p.
(The environment)
• R.O.I & N.I undergoing major gas expansion programme
• Gas to replace Coal, Peat & oil for heating= increased demand
• R.O.I & N.I let down due to isolation/lack of infrastructure
• No gas storage in Ireland means lack of security of supply
• Ireland to miss it's climate change targets by huge margin
• Gas spot price volatility to increase = higher consumer costs
(The project)
• Will benefit 2 member states therefore has PCI status
• PCI status includes storage facility and reverse flow of SNIP
• Strategic asset of national importance
• Qualifies or EU funding (FEED & earlier phases included)
• Ongoing application for another £40M grant (decision Feb 19)

• Economics to be based on daily not yearly price fluctuations
