National Gas Transmission Company Transgaz has expressed an interest in the development of the Revithoussa LNG terminal, icis.com informs.

The expansion of the terminal would contribute to the creation of an integrated north-south transmission corridor and help whip-up market liquidity thanks to attractive LNG terms that are opening up globally, Ion Sterian, Transgaz CEO, stated attending Athens Energy Forum.

The onshore terminal is currently adding a third 95,000 cubic metre (cbm) tank which will require additional infrastructure to be built this spring.

The terminal will have a total capacity of 225,000 cbm and its send-out will expand from 150GWh/day to 215GWh/day.

When complete, its expanded capacity will be sufficient to cover Greek gas demand for a day, except for periods of peak consumption when demand can reach up to 250GWh/day.

Greece began importing LNG in February 2000, at its Revithoussa terminal on a small island west of Athens that in 2015 handled 0.45 mt, an 18.4 percent increase on-year.

I started my way in life with the intention to pursue a teaching career. But, after graduating from the Faculty of Letters – the University of Bucharest in 2004, my first job as a reporter at one of the leading newspapers in Romania changed my perspective. I have specialized in communication and communication campaigns, following the Master's courses at the Faculty of Journalism and Communication Studies (FJSC), attending a BBC Communications scholarship.
I’ve represented several important publications in Romania as business journalist, being accredited in the finance and banking field. In 2015, I had the opportunity to interview the International Monetary Fund (IMF) Mission Chief for Romania, Andrea Schaechter. As business journalist, I also had the opportunity to interview ministers for Economics and Commercial
Affairs offices within different embassies in Romania or officials of large companies investing on the domestic market.
After almost 15 years of journalism, I still want to explore new ways, to inform and stay updated. That’s why The Romania Journal project fits me so well.
Today I describe myself as a passionate about the history of world culture, having a PhD in Hebrew Culture and Civilization, after a scholarship at the University of Haifa International School, as a language addict, an environmental activist, pet lover and traveler.
