It is located on the islet of Revithoussa (or Revithousa, or Revythousa), in the Gulf of Megara, west of Athens. It was completed in 1999^[1] and is operated by DESFA SA, which is a fully owned subsidiary of DEPA.^[2] The gas is supplied under contract from Algeria's Sonatrach, of between 0.51 and 0.68 billion cubic meters annually until 2021.^[3] There is also a contract with Italy's Eni to supply gas, though not currently used.^[4]

Capacity

In 2007, an expansion project was completed to upgrade the terminal, increasing its capacity to 185 Bcf/y (5.2-5.3 billion cubic meters annually). The LNG was stored in two in-ground tanks, with a total capacity of 130,000 cubic meters.^[5] In 2018, a third storage tank^[6] and electricity power plant (a High-efficiency Cogeneration Unit of 13MW capacity that ensures the electrical autonomy of the terminal) were added, increasing the total capacity up to 225,000 cubic meters.^[5]
