The UK oil and gas regulator has granted the required approvals and consents for Centrica to open the Rough gas storage facility off the East Yorkshire coast.
Rough reservoir has for years been the UKs gas storage, supporting supply and helping regulate prices.
There was a decision to close it in 2017. That’s now been reversed - helping us keep the lights on.
The even more exciting part of this decision however, enables us to convert Rough into Hydrogen Storage for the future as we transition away from gas.
I visited there last year, and have been lobbying for this in parliament. It’s great to see.
