The facility, which belongs to E.ON, will play a vital role in the future of UK's energy infrastructure.

The first three caverns, which represent the first phase of the development, are now commercially available with a capacity of 60 million cubic metres. When all eight caverns are in operation at the end of 2012, Holford will have a capacity of up to 160 million cubic metres.
