Britain's Interconnector gas pipeline capacity reduction extended
5/30/2017
LONDON (Reuters)—Capacity on the Interconnector pipeline, which transports natural gas between Britain and continental Europe, has been temporarily reduced to allow maintenance and testing at the Bacton gas terminal, operator IUK said.
The pipeline's technical capacity is around 26 GWh/h (gigawatt hours per hour), but the capacity available will be around 18 GWh/h, equivalent to a daily average rate of around 433 GWh/d.
IUK said it expected to meet gas demand for the day.
The 235-km, bi-directional pipeline transports gas between the Bacton terminal in Britain and Zeebrugge in Belgium.
