Background

The project will be chartered by EGAT to fuel the South Bangkok Power Plant.[1]

Construction is expected to start in 2021, with commercial operations scheduled to start in 2024. The LNG will be used to supply the South Bangkok Power Plant in Samut Prakan, which has a capacity of 2,100 megawatts. The FSRU is designed to have a capacity of 5 million tonnes a year for LNG.[4]

According to a feasibility study, the FSRU will be 20km offshore, south of Samut Prakan. Gas will be carried through a pipeline running from the facility to the coast, then a further 38km to the power plant.[4]

In May 2021, Upstream reported that the project had been cancelled, and that its developer EGAT was pursuing a new project with PTT: Surat Thani FSRU.[2]
