据海上工程师网2022年8月31日伦敦报道，英国石油和天然气监管机构周二在伦敦表示，,总部位于伯克希尔温莎的英国跨国公用事业公司森特理克（Centrica）位于英格兰东海岸以外海域的Rough天然气储存设施已获得所有监管部门的批准，可以重新开始储存天然气。
欧洲各国一直在冬季来临之前建立天然气库存，为天然气供应中断做好准备，但自2018年Rough天然气储存设施关闭以来，英国的天然气存储能力非常有限。
英国北海转型管理局（NSTA）表示，NSTA已批准和同意森特理克海上英国有限公司重新开放Rough天然气储存设施的第一阶段储气。
英国天然气公司（BG）的母公司森特理克首席执行官克里斯·奥谢7月份曾表示，该公司正在进行必要的工程工作，以便使Rough天然气储存设施尽快重新开放。
奥谢说，森特理克准备在这个项目上投资20亿英镑（23.3亿美元）。
Rough天然气储存设施此前提供了英国70%的天然气储存量。
奥谢7月份曾说，如果Rough天然气储存设施在去年冬天开放，每年可以为英国家庭节省大约100英镑的能源账单。

UK Allows Centrica to Reopen Rough Gas Storage Facility
Centrica's Rough gas storage site off England's east coast has received all the regulatory approvals to start storing gas again, Britain's oil and gas regulator said on Tuesday.
Countries across Europe have been building gas stocks ahead of winter to prepare for disruptions to supply of Russian gas, but Britain has had very little storage capacity since Rough's closure in 2018.
Britain's North Sea Transition Authority (NSTA) said it had granted the required approvals and consents to Centrica Offshore UK Limited for Phase 1 of the Rough gas storage site.
Centrica's Chief Executive Chris O'Shea said last month the company was carrying out the necessary engineering work to enable the site to reopen.
It would be prepared to invest 2 billion pounds ($2.33 billion) in the project, he said.
The Rough site previously provided about 70% of Britain's gas storage capacity.
Had the site been open last winter, it could have saved households about 100 pounds on their annual energy bills, O'Shea said last month.
