Holford Gas Storage

E.ON Gas Storage UK is currently developing one of the UK's most flexible underground gas storage facilities at a site known as Holford in Cheshire.

Storage capacities are available at Holford, with commercial operation expected in autumn 2011. For interest in purchasing capacity, please contact us.

Our Holford facility will allow large volumes of gas to be quickly moved in and out of the National Transmission System (NTS) to balance the UK gas system and manage price volatility.

Dr Paul Golby, E.ON UK Chief Executive, said: "This development will help improve future security of supplies of gas for our power stations and for our customers."
