Background

State-owned Rupantarita Prakritik Gas Company Limited (RPGCL) has invited expressions of interest (EoI) from prospective bidders to set up a liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal at Payra maritime port area in Patuakhali.

In September 2021, Bangladesh's Energy and Mineral Resources Division under the Ministry of Power, Energy and Mineral Resources decided to conduct a feasibility study for a FSRU project at Payra, amid growing lobbying from parties interested in developing the project. US-based Excelerate Energy, Bangladesh's Summit Group, and the state-run North West Power Generation Company Ltd (NWPGCL) are among the interested firms.
