The three 5.5 Mt/year liquefaction trains of the Yamal LNG project are now operational with a total combined nameplate capacity of 16.5 Mt/year.
The European Commission has adopted a decision imposing transmission system operator (TSO) TenneT to increase the electricity trading capacity between Western Denmark and Germany and to ensure a specific guaranteed capacity available at all times. This announcement ends the formal investigation opened in March 2018 to check whether TenneT infringed EU antitrust rules by systematically limiting southward capacity at the power interconnection between the two countries.
Polish coking coal producer JSW (Jastrzębska Spółka Węglowa) has unveiled plans to increase its output by 2.5 Mt/year to 3 Mt/year through acquisitions. Its 2030 production target has been set at 18 Mt/year, much above the current 14.8 Mt/year (including all types of coal). However, the share of thermal coal in its production will dwindle from the current 25% to 10%. The group will focus on coking coal, betting on the rising needs of the European steel industry.
