Gastrade announces that the suspension of regasification services, which emerged in late January, was due to a technical issue leading to the damage of the booster pumps onboard the Alexandroupolis FSRU. The Company has already undertaken all necessary actions to address the issue and repair the booster pumps.
Based on the progress of the remediation works and with a view to ensure the safest possible resumption of operations, the Terminal will resume unloading and regasification services on August 15, 2025, with an available regasification capacity capped at 25% of its maximum sustainable capacity, i.e. c. 41.5 GWh/day, with available redundancy re. its booster pumps.
Such availability will be offered for the period from August 15 to September 30, 2025, under certain operational and commercial conditions. The 25% cap will be lifted as of the start of the next Gas Year, i.e. from October 1, 2025, whereas certain operation constraints may remain for a limited period of time.
