据美国油价网2022年6月10日报道，英国最大的能源公司、英国天然气公司的母公司森特里卡公司日前向英国政府有关部门提交了一份正式申请，希望重新开放英国最大的天然气储存库，该储气库5年前因“经济”原因被关闭。
这家总部位于温莎的英国公用事业巨头已经向英国北海能源监管机构提交了正式申请，希望重新开放位于约克郡东海岸以外海域的Rough天然气储存设施。
森特里卡公司曾在2017年关闭了这个英国最大的天然气储存设施，原因是英国政府拒绝补贴维修这个北海设施所需的费用。
英国政府正在推进增加英国天然气储备量的计划，以期在即将到来的寒冷冬季之前减少能源危机的影响。
由于疫情以及军事冲突导致全球天然气需求反弹，近几个月来，全球天然气价格飙升，天然气供不应求。
Rough天然气储存设施包含一个已枯竭的天然气田，该气田位于海床以下2.7公里处，距离约克郡海岸18英里。

Centrica Looks To Reopen Britain’s Biggest Natural Gas Facility
Centrica has filed a formal application to reopen Britain’s biggest natural gas storage site after the site was closed five years ago for “economic” reasons.
The Windsor-headquartered utility company has submitted a formal application to the North Sea energy regulator to reopen the Rough facility off the east coast of Yorkshire.
Centrica previously closed its gas storage facility in 2017, after the government refused to subsidise the cost of repairs to the North Sea facility.
The application comes as the government pushes forwards with plans to increase the UK’s gas storage capacity as a means of limiting the impacts of the energy crisis ahead of the coming winter.
The plans come as global natural gas prices have soared in recent months as demand has outstripped supply, due to rebounding global demand following Covid and the war
The Rough facility consists of a depleted natural gas field, which lies 2.7km below the seabed, 18 miles off the coast of Yorkshire.
