ENGIE, through its subsidiary Storengy, owns the largest onshore gas storage facility in the UK. With over 18 years of expertise in energy storage solutions across Europe, Storengy has been operating in the UK since 2007.
Storengy UK’s facility at Stublach, located in the North West of England, boasts a storage capacity of 400 million cubic meters of gas, supporting a significant percentage of the UK’s peak gas demand and playing a crucial role in stabilising the national energy grid during periods of high demand.
As the UK decarbonises its gas supply, ENGIE is also pioneering innovative, low-carbon gas storage solutions, including hydrogen. These advances are essential for building a sustainable and secure energy system for the future.

Storengy is committed to supporting the UK’s decarbonisation efforts and is leading developments in hydrogen storage technologies. Storengy’s own ambitious target is to achieve carbon neutrality by 2025.
Storengy is pioneering green hydrogen storage, which will play its part in the energy mix, ensuring the UK’s decarbonisation goals are met.
With investment and support from ENGIE, Storengy continues to work on research to improve the storage and distribution of low-carbon energy solutions.
This incredible event at Green Expo 2024 brings together young minds, innovators, and future leaders, all with a shared passion for sustainability.
Looking back over the last 10 years Catherine Gras remembers the Stublach site and looks to the future.
