Thanks oldtramp,

I see the planned UK grid connection at Alverdiscott Devon is 9 miles away from Appledore.

I agree Stokey12. It feels like Northern Ireland needs to be much more proactive. Never mind Belfast Harbour what does Stormont actually do.

Gas reserves would be stored in a vast salt cavern under the Irish Sea under proposals discussed by ministers as they scramble to bolster Britain's energy security in the face of Russian aggression.

Officials are discussing plans to revive the so-called Gateway project in which caves south-west of Barrow-in-Furness would be used to contain 1.5bn cubic metres of natural gas or hydrogen, reducing the country's dependence on international market.The scheme was shelved a decade ago when ministers decided to scale back gas storage capacity, but in the past month civil servants have met with Stag Energy, the company masterminding the proposal, to see if it can be revived.
George Grant, Stag's chief executive, said he had held exploratory talks with the Business Department and the Crown Estate - which owns the seabed - about the feasibility of reviving the Gateway scheme.

“The potential for a very large facility is absolutely still there and it is certainly on their radar," he said.

“Their main priority at the moment is things that can be done in the next year or two, so it is not top tier, but it is going in the hopper of things to be considered.

“Will they decide to move forward with it? I don’t know. Are we happy to engage with them? Absolutely.”
