Background
The Vysotsk terminal's two trains at 0.66 mtpa[5] came online in April 2019; within its first month of operation, the terminal was already shipping LNG to customers in Lithuania, Finland and Sweden.[3][6]
Novatek announced plans to expand the capacity to 0.895 mtpa by commissioning a booster pumping station in 2022.[6][10] As of June 2023, the modernization project has been approved.
In January 2022, Novatek signed a power purchase agreement (PPA) with Fortum. The Vysotsk LNG plant is to be powered solely with Fortum's wind energy in Russia.[11]
In November 2023, the terminal's total operating capacity has reached 1.5 mtpa.[4]
GIIGNL 2024 report lists an outdated capacity of 0.9 mtpa and incorrectly states that "the option to build a second liquefaction train at the facility has been suspended".[12] In fact, Train 2 is already operating and each train's capacity is currently 0.75 mtpa, amounting to a total of 1.5 mtpa for the terminal.[4]
