Background

The Vysotsk terminal's two trains at 660,000 tpa came online in April 2019; within its first month of operation, the terminal was already shipping LNG to customers in Lithuania, Finland and Sweden.

Novatek announced plans to expand the capacity to 895,000 tpa by commissioning a booster pumping station in 2022. As of June 2023, the modernization project has been approved. There are no further updates.

In January 2022, Novatek signed a power purchase agreement (PPA) with Fortum. The Vysotsk LNG plant is to be powered solely with Fortum's wind energy in Russia.
