LNG-fueled Power Plant

LNG Plus installed and operated a 1 MW LNG fueled power plant located in the Dawei Special Economic Zone in 2013. The power plant consisted of ISO-tanks for LNG storage and ambient air vaporizers for regasification, and a 1 MW containerized gas generator.

The power plant and associated LNG facilities were operational in 45 days from the signing of the Power Purchase Agreement. LNG was procured from PTT Map Ta Phut LNG Terminal and safely transported a distance of 600 kilometers (one-way) and reliably during one rainy season and one dry season. Resulting prices of electricity generated was well below prices of electricity generated by diesel generators.
