Background
In November 2018, the Lagos State Government announced that it was in discussions with Golar to provide an FSRU, either the Golar Tundra or the Golar Spirit vessel, to deliver off-grid energy security for the region. The US$3bn gas-to-power project, known as the Embedded Power Supply Programme, was expected to provide 3,000MW of electricity. The FSRU would have the capacity to regasify 750 million standard cubic feet of gas per day (MMscf/d), enough to power 3,000MW.[2]
There have been no develompent updates in over four years and the project is presumed to be cancelled as of 2022.
In April 2023, Golar LNG announced that it had signed a heads of agreement (HOA) with the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) for the development of a floating liquefied natural gas (FLNG) facility at one of Nigeria's offshore gas fields, Golar Nigeria FLNG Terminal.[3]
