The capacity on offer consists of a bundle with three components: injection, transmission and storage. Gasunie subsidiary Hystock, which is running the open the season process, is requesting financial guarantees from market parties, with the intention of offering a binding contract, the company says. Gasunie did not specify the volume of storage on offer. The first salt cavern is expected to be operational in 2028, with a further three scheduled to start up in 2030.
