The Energy & Utilities Alliance (EUA) has made a bid to keep down gas storage tariffs, with the publication of a report claiming storage cuts transmission costs by £25m a year.
The report, by Waters Wye Associates for the EUA, assesses the additional investment that would be required in gas transmission if the UK’s storage facilities did not exist. It is has been commissioned ahead of proposed changes to transmission tariffs across the EU.
The EUA has called on Ofgem, which is reviewing gas transmission charges in light of the new EU rules, to bear in mind the benefits of gas storage when designing the new tariffs, which should take effect in 2017-18
Gas Storage Operators Group chair Roddy Monroe said: “We now look to Ofgem to ensure that these significant transmission benefits are fully reflected in transmission charging methodology when we come to implement the new EU rules in the UK.”
