KOSPO Hadong LNG Terminal

Background

Korea Southern Power (KOSPO) previously proposed developing LNG import and storage infrastructure in Hadong as part of a broader coal-to-gas transition strategy tied to the Hadong power complex. The project was intended to support planned LNG-fired power generation replacing coal capacity and appears to have included LNG receiving and storage infrastructure rather than a conventional merchant regasification terminal. The project was later cancelled amid weakening LNG demand projections, changing national electricity planning, and growing economic concerns surrounding new gas infrastructure development in South Korea.
