The Hanseatic Energy Hub (HEH), developer of the land-based LNG terminal at the Stade industrial site in Germany, has appointed Jürgen Nowicki as chairman of its advisory board.

Nowicki succeeds Dominique Venet, who has served in the role since the early development phase of the project in 2019. Venet played a central role in shaping the strategic direction of HEH and supported the project through its progression to Final Investment Decision (FID) in 2024.

Venet will step down from his position this year as he turns 70. Following his departure, he will remain associated with the project in a senior advisory capacity, as well as continue his engagement with Partners Group, HEH’s majority shareholder.

Over the course of his tenure, Venet contributed extensive international experience in liquefied natural gas (LNG) and energy infrastructure, helping to guide the project’s long-term development strategy and establish its position within Germany’s evolving energy landscape.

The appointment of Nowicki marks a new phase in the governance of the HEH project as it advances toward execution and operational readiness at the Stade industrial site, a key infrastructure location for Germany’s LNG import capacity.
