Open Season raises market interest in TES’ onshore hydrogen and green gas import terminal

In Germany, TES announced the start of the ‘Open Season’ to assess market interest for hydrogen and green gas import capacity at its Wilhelmshaven Green Energy Hub. The non-binding phase has now concluded, and bi-lateral discussions will commence with all parties that expressed their interest.

The terminal at Wilhelmshaven will be incorporated separately and branded as the AvantHy terminal. It will offer the capacity to import green hydrogen and green gas over time, as well as the opportunity to support Germany’s energy security of supply by receiving LNG imports before switching to green gas. The planned start-up is in late 2025.

TES offered a terminal capacity with base services of up to 20 BCM per annum; however, the company received Expressions of Interest from approximately 25 interested parties for more than twice the offered capacity. The next phase of bi-lateral discussions is expected to be completed during July 2022.
