Port Taranaki confirmed as potential LNG site

The location of a potential Liquefied Natural Gas project in New Zealand has been confirmed as Port Taranaki.

Port Taranaki has been selected as the preferred site for the LNG import site ahead of Northport near Whangarei.

Contact Energy and Genesis Energy are considering importing LNG to meet the country’s rising energy needs, as the huge Maui gas field starts to run out.
