Background

Wakayama LNG Terminal is a proposed LNG terminal in Kansai, Japan.

There have been no development updates in over four years and the project is presumed to be cancelled as of 2022.

In December 2023, Kansai Electric Power announced it had cancelled plans for a 3.7 GW LNG-fired power plant in Wakayama, which may have been associated with the terminal.
