John Wood, Interim Chairman and CEO of InfraStrata, said:

 

"We are pleased to have completed further milestones for the Islandmagee Project as we move closer to commencing construction. It is also positive to see the level of support the project is receiving from key stakeholders and the wider Northern Irish community, who understand the essential need for our project in order to provide security of energy supply, create employment and provide a financial boost to the Northern Irish economy. When completed, the acquisition of the assets of Harland and Wolff will reduce Capex, shorten the construction timeline and provide us the ability to commercialise the Project earlier than currently projected."

Notes to editors:

 

InfraStrata is a London Stock Exchange-listed group focused on strategic infrastructure projects.

 

The rapid development of the 100% owned Islandmagee Gas Storage Project is a core workstream for InfraStrata. It is expected to provide 25% of the UK's natural gas storage capacity and to benefit the Northern Ireland economy as a whole when complete. Given that the Committee on Climate Change has advised that the UK will still need a significant quantity of natural gas by 2050 - about 70% of today's consumption - the market opportunity for this project is compelling. It is the only gas storage project in North West Europe to be awarded 'Project of Common Interest' status by the European Union, confirming its strategic importance to the entire continent.

 

Mindful of the fact that safe, secure and flexible sources of energy are needed for a sustainable future, InfraStrata is focused on providing investors with exposure to a growing portfolio of UK, European and international energy infrastructure projects. With this in mind, the Company's highly experienced team is focused on acquiring, developing and commercialising innovative infrastructure projects around the world.
