Secondary market

Terminal customers

LNG terminal customers may transfer all or some of their rights and obligations to a third party under the conditions provided for in the LNG Terminal Access Contract.

For each buyer, the exchange involves signing an LNG Terminal Access Contract (or amendment).

To speed up easy access to its products, Elengy encourages interested companies to immediately sign a Master Agreement for access to its LNG terminals.

In order to enhance the secondary market and ensure market transparency, Elengy publishes a LIST OF INTERESTED PARTIES (pdf), giving:

the names of current customers with an LNG Terminal Access Contract (includes signatories of a Master Agreement) who agree to their name being published,
the names of potential customers who are interested in regasification and wish their names to be published.

Please contact us at sales@elengy.com if you would like your name to appear on the list.

Transfer and Acquisition Form or Bulletin Board

The Bulletin Board is a space designed to encourage capacity trading on the secondary market. It enables customers or future customers to post a transfer/acquisition offer for access capacities in the terminal in order to find a buyer. The publication of a capacity transfer/acquisition offer on the secondary market costs €2,000.

The publication of an anonymous transfer/acquisition offer costs €4,000. Elengy will put the two parties in contact with one another.

Transfer Offer

Acquisition

Answer a posting: interested parties should contact the name given in the posting (reply to sales@elengy.com mailbox for anonymous postings).

Posting: all current or potential customers may mail an offer to sales@elengy.com by attaching the capacity transfer/acquisition form for access to a LNG terminal. Customers can choose whether or not to remain anonymous for this operation.

Elengy undertakes to publish this information as soon as possible under “View Postings” in the Bulletin Board section of its open-access website after first checking compatibility.

FAQ

What is natural gas?

Natural gas is principally composed of methane (CH₄) and is found in natural reserves. As a primary energy source, it offers many qualities, and is the cleanest fossil fuel.

It is appreciated for its high calorific value, ease of use, and environmentally-friendly composition.

Why does natural gas smell bad?

Natural gas is odourless, but an artificial odorant is added to enable detection in the event of a leak.

Why do people say natural gas is clean?

When natural gas burns it does not emit dust, soot or smoke, producing only water vapour and carbon dioxide, much like human breath, which is then transformed back into oxygen by plants. It is the most energy-efficient of all fossil fuels on the market.

Is there a risk of explosion at an LNG terminal?

An explosion of natural gas can only occur if the following three factors occur simultaneously:

a gas leak in an enclosed space
a mix of air and gas of between 5% and 15%
a spark or flame.

Every care is taken in at LNG terminals to prevent these three things occurring at the same time.

Can I visit an LNG terminal?

For reasons of national security, our sites may not be visited by the public.

I am a student and would like to find out about LNG terminals. Where should I go?

Please use the Contact page to submit any requests and we will get back to you as soon as possible.

I am looking for a job and would very much like to join your company. Where should I send my application?

You can visit our Recruitment section where you will find details of our jobs along with openings. Any applications for jobs not listed under openings will also be considered.

This information is provided at 7h00 LT for the preceding gas day.

Aggregated Inventories

Amount of gas in kWh 25°C belonged by the shippers in the tanks of the LNG terminal at the beginning of the day.

Aggregated nominated quantities

Corresponds to aggregated Shipper send-out nominations in kWh 25°C at the interface between the LSO and the TSO.

LNG Terminal Access Contract

Contract between the Operator and a Shipper, stating the reception, storage and regas conditions for LNG cargoes delivered by the Shipper to an LNG terminal.

Main Network
