Background
In September 2022, MMC Group Bhd and SKS Corp Sdn Bhd launched a project to develop Pulau Bunting integrated development of gas supply centre and power plant in Yan, Kedah, Malaysia. The project, with a total cost of RM14.4 billion (USD$3.1 billion), includes the 1600-MW gas-fired Pulau Bunting power station, a coastal port, and an LNG regasification terminal. The terminal will use a floating storage unit or floating regasification unit. Gas from the project will be also provided to end users including industry, factories, hotels, and others. According to The Malaysian Reserve, "Yan was chosen because of its strategic location at the northern entrance of the Straits of Malacca, which is the busiest trade route in the world with over 100,000 ships using these waters a year."[4]
The associated power plant was reportedly under development as of 2025, suggesting that the terminal plans were still active.[5]
In 2026, Gas Malaysia announced that it would jointly develop the Yan LNG terminal, within the Palau Bunting Integrated Development, with Tokyo Gas Co Ltd and VTTI, with a 70:15:15 participation structure.[6][7][8] The company also reported that the project, which is estimated to cost up to US$765 million, would be able to process up to six million tonnes of LNG per year through the use of a floating storage and regasification unit (FSRU).[6][7][8][9] Gas Malaysia also said that the project "is expected to support industrial and power sector growth in Northern Malaysia" while diversifying the LNG import infrastructure in Peninsular Malaysia.[10]
