Background
This terminal is described as an "interim" import unit that appears to be in addition to the proposed FGEN Batangas LNG Terminal.[6]
In March 2020, FGEN submitted an application to build the interim FSRU terminal to the Department of Energy (DOE), with an expected commissioning date of 2022.[8]
In early 2021, an executive at First Gen noted they would implement the construction by modifying the existing liquid fuel facilities built several years ago at the site.[1] As of January 2021, engineering work for the terminal was under way and construction work was expected to begin in March 2021.[9]
Construction ultimately began in June 2021.[10] It was on track to be finished by the end of September 2022.[1] In May 2022, this timeline was updated to see construction completed by the end of October or beginning of November, 2022.[11]
In June 2022, First Gen and BW agreed to a new delivery date for the FSRU BW Paris due to the delayed completion of the import terminal. The FSRU will be delivered in March 2023 instead of September 2022.[12]
Environmental and social impacts
Environmental groups are opposed to the project, given its likely impacts on ecosystems and biodiversity in the Verde Islands Passage.[13]
