Suppliers / Customers

• Suppliers: When the Bilbao regas and power facility was first conceived, the idea was that it would be supplied with LNG from Trinidad. However it now receives gas from a wide variety of sources
• Customers: A natural gas powered combined cycle electrical power plant, with a power output of 800 MW was constructed as part of the complex

History

• 2003 - First phase of the Terminal with capacity of 3.5bcma of gas was commissioned
• 2004 - An expansion to double its capacity to 7bcma wA completed
• 2008 - Permission was granted for larger vessels
• 2009 - Enagás buys 25% of Bahía de Bizkaia Gas from BP

Other Information

• When seawater is used for warming the LNG, its temperature is lowered. Conversely, the seawater used to condense the steam in the power plant becomes warmer.
• Normally these would be on two separate circuits, but in Bilbao there is a common cooling water circuit. In effect the seawater is raised by 5°C in the power plant, then passes to the LNG vaporisers where it is is cooled down by 3°C.
• This means there is one seawater intake and one seawater discharge, reducing construction costs, and seawater is returned to the ocean with only marginal temperature rise.’
