On 30 July 2012, the Board of Directors of ERG S.p.A. decided to exit the project for the construction of a Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) regasification terminal in the Municipality of Melilli, in the Siracusa province, with a capacity of 8 billion cubic metres per year.
The decision not to continue with the project was based on the significant changes in both energy and economic-financial scenarios, which took place as a result of the crisis that started in 2008, and the current configuration of the Group's activities.

On 27 November 2012, the placement in liquidation deed was filed and the liquidator was appointed.
