E.ON signs five year UK gas deal
■ Noble Clean Fuels has boosted its presence in Britain’s gas storage market by signing a five-year agreement with E.ON’s Gas Storage UK to lease the full capacity at its new Holford storage facility in Cheshire. From today, the Singapore-listed commodities firm can start using the site’s initial 60m cubic metres (mcm) storage capacity, which will rise to 160 mcm from early 2013, the equivalent of half of Britain’s gas demand as of yesterday.
