How is the LNG terminal at Klaipeda currently funded?

Since 2012 the LNG Terminal Law has imposed a levy on all users of the natural gas transmission system. This levy is transferred to Klaipedos Nafta, as state aid, to finance the costs of building and operating the terminal and related infrastructure.  The law also requires certain energy producers to buy allocated minimum quantities of natural gas from the terminal.

“Lithuania only needs around 2 billion cubic meters a year and this massive overcapacity has not been disclosed to the Commission.”

What is the impact of this on Achema?

This heavy financial burden reduces our profit margin and hinders investment, damaging the sustainability of the whole group. This jeopardizes 4,500 jobs and places the company at a significant competitive disadvantage with its competitors, at EU and global levels.

Technically, the terminal is a Floating Storage and Regasification Unit (FSRU) under a 10-year lease from Hoëgh LNG. Three years of that lease have already passed, but the government is working on a plan to extend it. It’s also worth noting that Klaipėdos Nafta is appointed, without objective criteria, to run the project for 55 years.
