It operates an LNG import and regasification facility that connects energy into the UK, providing a reliable and flexible supply of natural gas to homes and businesses across the country. The terminal is described by the company as the result of multi-million pound investments by its shareholders into Wales and the UK's energy infrastructure, and Dragon LNG is a standalone business jointly financed by two industry shareholders. The company's stated ambition is to become a competitive net zero terminal thriving in the energy transition. Its strategy combines a safe, reliable and flexible LNG terminal with a future energies hub, enabled teams skilled to work on a digital asset, competitive and commercially high value customer contracts, Scope 1 decarbonisation in the Haven energy transition, and Scope 2 decarbonisation and growth of Dragon Energy Ltd. The site has an excellent safety record and has completed the first major turnaround of its re-liquefaction plant. Beyond its core LNG business, Dragon LNG is expanding into renewables. In March 2023 Dragon Energy started commercial operations of solar panels in its renewables park, complementing the base business as the company does more in the energy transition and towards a net zero future. In Q3 2024 the Welsh Government granted planning approval for three wind turbines to join the solar panels. The company also works with its community, industry partners, educational institutes and governmental bodies to develop local skills, positioning itself as an employer of choice in West Wales. Dragon LNG is led by Managing Director Simon Ames.
