Decision

On the 9 October 2018, South Hook LNG Terminal Company Ltd submitted to us an application for additional capacity of ~5.3 billion cubic meters per year to be exempted from regulated Third Party Access (rTPA) for at least 25 years. The application was consistent with section 19C(2) of the Gas Act 1986 (as amended).  The rTPA provisions in relation to LNG import facilities are contained in section 19D of the Gas Act.

This consultation document sets out Ofgem’s initial view that an exemption can be granted for the additional capacity.
