LNG Supply Reaches Pre-Disruption Levels in Bangladesh
Bangladesh's LNG supply to the national gas grid has increased significantly, reaching 810 million cubic feet per day (mmcfd) on Saturday. This marked a substantial recovery following the disruption at Excelerate Energy's floating storage and regasification unit (FSRU) off Maheshkhali, which had sharply reduced imported gas supplies.
The increase in LNG availability has pushed total gas supply to 2,425 mmcfd, the highest level since July 21. According to Petrobangla data, Excelerate Energy's FSRU supplied 300 mmcfd, while Summit's FSRU supplied 510 mmcfd to the national grid.
The additional supply is expected to ease pressure on the national gas grid, although demand remains significantly higher than available supply. Petrobangla is planning to allocate up to 960 mmcfd of gas to power plants to support electricity generation amid the ongoing power crisis and load shedding.
