Proposals for a new offshore gas storage facility to be developed by Centrica Storage and Perenco UK (the companies behind a new joint company called Bacton Storage Company Limited (BSCL)), have been submitted to North Norfolk District Council (NNDC).
BSCL is proposing to store natural gas in an existing offshore reservoir, named Baird, 86km from the North Norfolk coastline. During times of low demand, gas will be pumped offshore from the National Transmission System via new facilities to be installed within the Perenco UK Terminal in Bacton.
Whilst the proposed development is significant, in terms of its positive impact for securing essential gas supplies and keeping gas prices as low as possible, BSCL has given a clear commitment to keep the construction and development impact to a minimum.
