Empowering opportunity
From wind turbines to LNG capacity, Dragon LNG, as a critical national infrastructure site, is playing a leading role in the UK’ s energy transition
What does it mean to be a true leader in energy infrastructure? Operating one of the UK’ s only three LNG terminals, Dragon LNG( Dragon) is wellequipped to answer. Redefining the industry standards of resilience and reliability, Dragon’ s state-of-the-art LNG terminal – which is situated in Milford Haven, Southwest Wales – has been a key pillar in the UK’ s energy infrastructure since its commissioning in 2009. Backed by multi-million pound investments by its two shareholders, Shell and VTTI, the terminal has the capacity to receive up to 96 LNG vessels each year and supplies around ten percent of the UK’ s annual gas demand.
Championing its core values of respect, teamwork, integrity, and a hunger to learn at any opportunity, Dragon possesses one overarching ambition as a‘ a highly competitive LNG Terminal thriving in the energy transition.’ Alongside large capital investments such as its reliquefication plant, Dragon Group, through its Dragon Energy Division, operates Dragon’ s Renewable Energy Park. This currently produces ten megawatts of solar derived energy, augmenting its scope of sustainable solutions and overall infrastructural impact.
When Simon Ames, Managing Director of Dragon, last sat down with Energy, Oil & Gas over a year ago, he shared exclusive insight into the terminal’ s ongoing operations and the company’ s wider decarbonization and regasification projects. Since that conversation, Dragon has continued to prosper, with the first quarter of 2025 marking its busiest operational period ever regarding LNG volumes. Furthermore, Simon revealed that Dragon was undergoing a third-party access auction for its LNG terminal, and, joining us again in 2025, he is keen to provide an update on the auction’ s progress.
