The installation of a new regasification module, which will increase the maximum capacity of the LNG terminal in Omišalj from 3.1 to 6.1 billion cubic meters of gas per year, is nearing completion, and it is expected to be operational in October. An auction for the allocation of additional regasification capacity for the next 15 years is scheduled for May, reports HINA

LNG Croatia, the company managing the LNG terminal in Omišalj, confirmed that, as part of the first phase of increasing the terminal’s regasification capacity for liquefied natural gas, it will offer additional regasification capacity for the next 15 gas years, from 2025/2026 to 2039/2040, on May 12. The additional capacity will be offered through an auction organized by LNG Croatia in cooperation with the PRISMA European Capacity Platform GmbH, a platform for contracting capacities in European gas infrastructure.

The existing capacities of the terminal are already booked for the next 12 years.

Since the commercial start of the LNG terminal in January 2021, 117 LNG carriers have docked at the terminal, around 16.4 million cubic meters of liquefied natural gas have been received, and nearly 9.9 billion cubic meters of natural gas have been delivered.
