ENECO closes gas storage contract with NAM
Rotterdam, 09-03-2004 As of February 2004 ENECO Energy Trade BV has access to a part of the underground storage operated by Nederlandse Aardolie Maatschappij (NAM) at Grijpskerk. The required contracts were signed at the end of January this year in Rotterdam. ENECO is of the opinion that the gas market is developing for which the activities that she performs should fit the place ENECO is taking in the Energy sector.

A team of specialists is continuously assessing the possibilities to extend ENECO's activities in the gas market. In this respect ENECO uses the added value of storage particularly to serve her customer base and to support her trading activities.

The use of underground storage has become feasible after the opening of her underground gas storage facilities for third party access by NAM in 2002.
