I've rewatched - at around 31:25 in he says very very soon.

And just now directly challenged on awarding the contract to Spain which he did not deny ( he earlier said he could not give details as market sensitive and announcement due very very soon. Also made the point to opposition that many significant projects require cross country collaboration. Overall positive I would say.

No Stokey, nothing at PMQ's. I caught a bit of Ben Wallace today - the conversation seemed to focus a lot on US / UK relationship but at one point I remember him talking about the importance of not relying on one service provider and diversity in the supply chain as being a positive. Worth a listen because touched on supply chains, societal value etc from memory.

In parallel with NI announcement on transitioning gas network, govt is consulting on Hydrogen and Transport Business Models. Storage options from p48 ( from memory) with underground storage facilities identified as potentially required to manage system.

THE north's five gas network operators - Phoenix Natural Gas, firmus energy, SGN Natural Gas, Mutual Energy and GNI (UK) - have launched a joint plan to fully decarbonise the region's gas network by 2050.

The Pathway to Net-Zero document (https://www.phoenixnaturalgas.com/pathwaytonetzero) charts out how the gas network will transition away from natural gas to renewable alternatives such as biomethane and hydrogen to support Northern Ireland's emission targets.

Islandmagee specifically identified as the storage solution

A decarbonised gas network offers capabilities
which improve the resilience & efficiency of Northern
Ireland’s future Net-Zero whole energy system
Unlike electricity, gases such as Hydrogen and Biomethane are suitable for long?duration storage. The ability to store energy for long periods (interseasonally)
reduces energy system costs by offering greater flexibility, improving renewable generation efficiency and supporting system resilience.
• Green Hydrogen produced by utilising renewable electricity generated during periods of low demand can be stored and kept for use during periods of high demand – cold weather/periods of low wind generation.
• The availability of storage significantly reduces the infrastructure required to reliably meet future peak energy demand – reducing overall system costs.
Northern Ireland has the opportunity to take advantage of the proposed underground gas storage facilities at Islandmagee - which offer significant storage capacity at the perfect strategic location (the gas entry point into NI).

Strong push from SNP with report on independence today alongside recent legal challenge to try to capitalise on UK government woes. A resolution on the NI protocol and MOD announcement supporting NI economy would be welcome.
