An energy service provider in northern Germany has built a gas storage facility at the Jemgum site to improve the security of supply of natural gas in the northern German supply area. The gas storage facility consists of a compressor and extraction station for the process processing of natural gas and comprises four storage locations with 8 storage caverns.

The storage caverns have a geometric volume of approx. 2.94 billion m³ and are connected to the above-ground facility via field pipelines. The connection to the gas pipeline will be made via a new high-pressure pipeline to be built to the Dutch gas transmission network of Gasunie Transport Services (GTS). The operation of the plant is planned as a day and seasonal storage facility, adapted to gas demand and gas sales opportunities.
As part of the project, PSE was assigned for the project management, planning as well as the construction and commissioning management.
