Bangladesh’s LNG supply to the national gas grid rose to 810 million cubic feet per day (MMCFD) recently, taking total gas supply to 2,425 MMCFD, the highest level since the disruption at Excelerate Energy’s FSRU on July 21.
According to Petrobangla data, Excelerate’s FSRU supplied 300 MMCFD and Summit’s FSRU 510 mmcfd, while domestic sources provided 1,615 mmcfd.
The recovery has improved imported gas availability after the Excelerate terminal disruption sharply reduced LNG supplies and contributed to gas shortages and pressure on power generation.
Meanwhile, Petrobangla plans to increase gas allocation to the power sector to as much as 960 MMCFD, depending on overall supply and system requirements, to support electricity generation and ease load-shedding.
Bangladesh’s two operational FSRUs have a combined regasification capacity of about 1,100 MMCFD. However, total gas supply remains well below the country’s official demand of around 3,854 MMCFD.
