Successful Open Season: ample interest in hydrogen storage first salt cavern HyStock

Several market players reserved capacity in the first salt cavern for large-scale hydrogen storage at Zuidwending in Groningen during HyStock's Open Season. The requested reservations far outbid the offered storage capacity of 216 GWh. An auction will allocate the available capacity fairly and transparently to these market players. With this wide interest, this Open Season, which ran from 15 June to 14 July, can be called a success.

The first hydrogen cavern is expected to be commissioned in 2028. The other three caverns will be realised after 2030.
