Project Details

• Operator: Gas Networks Ireland (GNI)
• Parent company: Ervia
• Current capacity: 82.9 million cubic feet per day
• Length: 16.2 mi / 26 km
• Status: Proposed
• Start Year: 2022

Background

The pipeline will be 26 km (16.2 miles), and export up to 26.8 MCM/d (82.9 mmcf/d) to the national grid at Foynes, County Limerick, with an initial deliverability of 16.1 MCM/d. It is associated with the Shannon LNG Terminal. Both the pipeline and the terminal have been added to the European Commission's fourth Projects of Common Interest (PCI) list, meaning they're eligible for public funding.
