Bangladesh's Gas Supply Crisis Partially Resolved as FSRUs Resume Operations

A recent technical glitch at an FSRU in Bangladesh has been resolved, restoring gas supply to the national grid. The incident occurred on July 21, 2026, when Excelerate Energy's FSRU at Moheshkhali suffered a severe technical issue and fire, temporarily disrupting gas supply across the country.

In response, technical experts were engaged to resolve the problem as quickly as possible, ensuring normal gas supply to the national grid. Two FSRUs are now supplying around 750 million cubic feet per day (mmcfd) of gas, helping to alleviate the gas crisis in the country.

The government has also taken steps to meet emergency domestic energy needs by approving the procurement of eight cargoes of liquefied natural gas (LNG). Two cargoes each will be procured from four international companies: Blackcube International Ltd (UK), Global Fuel Supplies Pte Ltd (Australia), Plentitude Energy Sdn Bhd (Malaysia), and Maxwell International SPC (Oman).
