Background

The first section of the pipeline was contrstructed in 2002 and runs from Moffat with Terregles. The proposed section from Terregles to Brighouse was also consented but it was not built following concerns from Scottish Water about groundwater contamination. GNI UK proposed an alternative route which received planning permission in 2015. The second phase of the pipeline was built at a cost of €100 million and commissioned in December 2018. The pipeline feeds into the Scotland–Northern Ireland Gas Pipeline (SNIP). The project has European Project of Common Interest status, qualifying it for public funding support. In 2014 the project received a €33,764,185 grant from the Connecting Europe Facility.
