Background
In June 2020, Offshore Energy reported that an LNG import facility was under construction in Rakhine. It will supply the Kyaukpyu natural gas-fired power plant (150 MW capacity), which is expected to come online by the end of 2020.
In March 2022, it was reported that the 150-MW power plant had come online. It is unclear whether the LNG terminal's construction is complete.[3]
It appears that the power plant may source natural gas from offshore projects and onshore gas fields in Myanmar.[3] With no definitive updates for more than two years, the project is presumed to be shelved.
