菲律宾政府批准巴丹加斯LNG终端项目继续推进

据路透社2019年3月8日马尼拉报道，菲律宾主要电力生产商菲律宾第一发电公司（First Gen Corp）周五表示，该公司日前获悉菲律宾能源部已批准其提出的建造其巴丹加斯液化天然气（LNG）终端项目的继续进行通知（NTP）。

在菲律宾经营4个使用菲律宾马兰帕亚天然气发电厂的的第一发电公司表示，该公司迄今尚未收到菲律宾能源部关于发放NTP的正式通知。菲律宾第一发电厂旗下的4个发电厂具有2000兆瓦的发电能力。

菲律宾第一发电公司与其LNG合作伙伴东京燃气有限公司正在寻求确保在马兰帕亚天然气田最早可能在2024年前枯竭之前为其4个发电厂供应进口天然气。

第一发电公司在一份监管文件中表示，其LNG终端将满足第三方及其附属公司现有及未来燃气发电厂的天然气需求。

First Gen says Philippine govt greenlights LNG terminal project

Philippine power producer First Gen Corp said on Friday it has learned that the Department of Energy has approved its application for a Notice to Proceed (NTP) for the construction of its Batangas LNG Terminal Project.

First Gen, which operates four power plants with a combined capacity of 2,000 megawatts running on the Philippines’ Malampaya natural gas, said it has yet to received a formal notice from the DOE on the issuance of NTP.

First Gen, with Tokyo Gas Co Ltd as its LNG partner, is seeking to ensure availability of imported gas for its power plants ahead of Malampaya’s depletion possibly by 2024 at the earliest.

First Gen, in a regulatory filing, said its LNG terminal will serve the natural gas requirements of existing and future gas-fired power plants of third parties and its affiliates.
