據(jù)管道新聞網(wǎng)3月8日消息稱，意大利最大的公用事業(yè)公司 Enel 準備重新啟動在意大利南部建造一個液化天然氣接收站的計劃。

在對路透社的評論中，Enel 表示，對意大利來說，增加兩個液化天然氣接收站將有助于減少與天然氣管道的聯(lián)系。

業(yè)內(nèi)人士稱，在西西里島南部建造一家類似Porto Empedocle這樣的工廠，最初的設(shè)計產(chǎn)能為每年80億立方米，可能需要三年以上的時間。

Enel Ready to Resume LNG Plan as Italy Steps Up Gas Hunt

Italy's biggest utility Enel is ready to dust off plans to build an LNG terminal in southern Italy.

In comments to Reuters, Enel said it would be useful for Italy to have two additional LNG terminals to be less tied to gas pipelines.

Industry sources said to build a plant like Porto Empedocle in southern Sicily, originally designed to have a capacity of 8 billion cubic meters per year, could take more than three years.

"At the start of the year they had canceled this (Porto Empedocle) project because it was unsustainable. Now they've resurrected it," Sicily energy manager Daniela Baglieri told Reuters.

Italy’s byzantine permitting process has virtually stopped development of LNG facilities beyond the three plants currently operative and which now account for around 20% of daily imports.
