Gas supply to the national grid has resumed from the Excelerate Energy-operated floating LNG terminal in Maheshkhali after a two-week shutdown. From 3:10am on Thursday, the terminal began supplying 115 million cubic feet of gas a day, Petrobangla officials said. Total gas supplied to the grid from imported LNG has consequently risen to 660 million cubic feet daily.
Officials of Rupantarita Prakritik Gas Company Limited said one unit of the terminal was restarted early Thursday and supply began on a limited scale. Operations are being restored gradually, with the terminal expected to deliver gas at greater capacity within four to five days. Grid supply could increase further if sufficient LNG cargoes are available.
The terminal was completely shut down after a fire on July 21 was followed by technical problems. The outage created a daily shortfall of about 500 million cubic feet of gas in the national grid, while imported LNG supply fell by nearly half. Residential consumers, industrial operators and CNG users faced the greatest disruption, and load-shedding increased in several areas as gas-fired power plants received less fuel.
