EU Commission includes Shannon LNG gas terminal on key European Energy projects list

A decision by the EU Commission to include the Shannon LNG €1bn liquefied gas terminal on a list of key European Energy projects “is a game changer” for the project.

That is according to Sean Kelly MEP (Ireland South) who was yesterday commenting on the EU Commission, including the project being on the list of key European Projects of Common Interest to integrate Europe’s energy markets and diversify sources.

The project, planned for a 287-acre site at Ballylongford, Co Kerry, has been stalled for a number of years and it was revealed earlier this week that US oil giant, Hess Corporation is looking to sell up in order for another industry firm to proceed with the construction of the terminal.
