TNB The First to Bring in Gas Under Third Party Access Arrangement

02/10/2019

TNB Fuel Services Sdn Bhd (TNBF), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB) today signed a Gas Sales Agreement (GSA) with TNB and TNB Connaught Bridge Sdn Bhd for the delivery of gas via its maiden LNG trial cargo.

A total of 3.5 trillion British thermal units (TBtu) gas will be delivered to TNB’s Tuanku Jaafar Power Station in Port Dickson and TNB Connaught Bridge Power Station in Klang. The gas from this LNG trial cargo is expected to be consumed fully by these two power plants within 14 days with a daily average quantity of 270,000 Gigajoules (GJ).

The main objective of TNB bringing in its maiden LNG trial cargo is to test the third party access (TPA) arrangement via the Regasification Terminal (RGT) in Sg. Udang, Melaka and Peninsular Gas Utilisation (PGU) gas pipeline network owned by PETRONAS Gas Berhad (PGB). At present, no other entity has ever brought in LNG cargo or delivered gas to the power generation sector except for PETRONAS, as the sole supplier.
