The GLE LNG Investment Database presents a collection of GLE and non-GLE public information on storage projects around Europe. The projects are presented per country and company. The status of each project is indicated as:

• planned in case the project is at an early evaluation stage
• committed in case the project is under evaluation by the company with detailed studies and possibly undergoing planning and permitting stages
• under construction in case the project has already started (procurement and physical operations)

GLE currently gathers and represents the interest of 15 LNG terminal operators in Europe. As part of GIE, GLE seeks to promote the development of a fully operational and competitive European internal market for LNG based, i.a., on transparency and sound investment climate and characterized by a stable and predictable regulatory framework.

The data published in the GLE LNG Investment Database is based on publicly available information solely. As indicated in the database for each project, some of the data have been provided by GLE member companies, others come from public source. The data reflect the most probable expectation at the moment. However, under no circumstances shall the data published in this Database be understood as any company’s ultimate commitment to execute the project.

This is of particular relevance for projects marked as “planned”. Equally, for the projects marked as “under construction”, the expected capacity expansions are indicative and shall not be understood as any company’s commitment.

Finally, given the uncertainties associated to long term projects, the expected completion dates have been determined indicatively.

The database will be reviewed and updated by GLE at least once a year or whenever a request for update is received. Active contribution to the database from all non-GLE LNG terminal operators is welcome
