Background

Yung-An LNG Terminal is the first LNG import terminal in Taiwan. It locates in Yung-An Township, Kaohsiung, Taiwan, owned by CPC Corporation. Phase 1 began construction in 1984 and operating in 1990 with 1.5 mtpa capacity. Phase 2 and 3 expanded the capacity to 7.5 mtpa in 2002. Phase 4 expansion increased the capacity to 9 mtpa in 2005. As of July 2018 the terminal's receiving capacity was reported to be 10.5 mtpa.

Proposed expansion project

A 1.8-mtpa expansion project, which includes three new storage tanks, with 200,000 cubic meters each, and related re-gasification facilities, was estimated to be completed by the end of 2026 and become operational by 2027. Construction began February 2021 according to GIIGNL. However, as of February 2024, no further news on the construction progress. It's considered still not yet entering construction.

As of June 2025, there is no news about the expansion construction-start.

Yung-An LNG Terminal's receiving capacity reportedly increased to 13 mtpa.

Taiwan Legislative Yuan (台灣立法院) member Chiu Chih-wei posted on social media Face Book in November 2024, saying Yung-An LNG expansion had made no progress since 2021 due to the high cost of underground storage tanks.
