THE parent company of Portland Gas has changed its name to Infrastrata plc.

The company immediately responsible for the local project being developed on Portland will continued to be called Portland Gas.

The plc name change was made at the annual general meeting yesterday (15 December 2009).

Andrew Hindle, CEO of Infrastata, said: ‘The name change reflects the company’s ambitions to develop salt cavern gas storage facilities in a range of locations and countries. As far as the Dorset project is concerned, it’s business as usual for Portland Gas.’

The Portland Gas Trust, which is pledged to deliver more than £2 million of funding in community projects, is unaffected by the change.
