British Gas Owner Centrica to Buy Grain LNG Terminal for £1.66bn

The Isle of Grain terminal supplied 15% of UK gas demand last year and is expected to supply 60% by 2050, supporting energy security as Centrica expands its UK investments.

  • National Grid has agreed to sell the Isle of Grain terminal in Kent to Centrica and Energy Capital Partners for 1.5 billion.
  • Chief executive John Pettigrew said the sale, agreed earlier this year, aligns with National Grid's focus on electricity and gas networks after selling NG Renewables.
  • The Isle of Grain terminal is a strategic asset that connects global imports to the European energy market, supporting UK energy security.
  • Upon completion, Centrica will bolster its infrastructure portfolio by adding assets like the Rough gas storage facility, expected by the end of 2025, pending approval.
  • Looking ahead, the UK’s reliance on LNG is set to grow significantly as the UK government aims for a 60% gas demand forecast by 2050.
