Greek gas grid operator DESFA has completed the second expansion of the Revithoussa LNG regasification terminal near Athens (Greece). The project includes the construction of a third LNG storage tank, the upgrade of marine facilities and the deployment of additional technology equipment to increase its regasification capacity by an additional 2 bcm/year (1.48 Mt/year). It will allow the Revithoussa terminal to ramp up its total storage capacity from 130,000 m3 to 225,000 m3 and boost the regasification rate from 5.2 bcm/year to 7.2 bcm/year.
Revithoussa is the sole operating LNG import terminal in Greece. Gastrade is developing a 6.1 bcm/year floating storage and regasification unit (FSRU) in Alexandroupolis (north-eastern Greece) that could be commissioned in 2020 and could intereconnect with the proposed Interconnector Greece-Bulgaria (IGB) gas pipeline project to Bulgaria.
