UK's Marram Energy Storage Hub: Advancing Towards Vast Gas and Hydrogen Store in North Sea
Key Ideas
- EnergyPathways PLC receives license operatorship approval for Marram Energy Storage Hub (MESH), set to be the UK's largest offshore storage facility.
- Key contracts awarded to Aberdeen-based PDi for engineering study support and Wood PLC as project lead engineering partner, marking significant progress.
- MESH project aims to enhance the UK's natural gas and energy storage capacity, providing a reliable supply of natural gas and green hydrogen for over 20 years.
- The facility is designed as a zero-emission site, powered by renewable wind farms in the UK Irish Sea region, contributing to the development of a hydrogen economy.
EnergyPathways PLC has received a license operatorship approval for the Marram Energy Storage Hub (MESH) project, a significant development that will establish the UK's largest offshore storage facility. The project, aimed at storing over 500 million therms of energy, has progressed with the appointment of key contractors such as PDi for engineering support and Wood PLC as the project lead engineering partner. The CEO of EnergyPathways expressed satisfaction with the NSTA's approval and the progress towards final investment decisions later this year. MESH, expected to begin operations by the end of 2029, is designed as a decarbonized, electrified zero-emission facility fueled by renewable energy from UK wind farms. The project's focus on energy security and reducing the impact of global energy price volatility on UK households aligns with the company's goal of supporting the UK's energy transition and hydrogen economy development.
