Bangladesh is expected to experience low gas pressure across large parts of the country from Monday night until June 25 as supplies of regasified liquefied natural gas (RLNG) decline due to maintenance work at a floating LNG import terminal, energy officials said.
The disruption is linked to maintenance of a floating storage and regasification unit (FSRU) operated by US-based Excelerate Energy, according to officials at state-owned Petrobangla.
“I have heard about the maintenance of the FSRU operated by Excelerate Energy,” Petrobangla Acting Chairman Md Abdul Mannan told Just Energy News.
State-owned distributor Titas Gas Transmission and Distribution Company Limited said consumers in its franchise area would experience low gas pressure from the night of June 22 until June 25 because of reduced RLNG supplies.
In a public notice, the utility warned that residential, commercial and industrial consumers across its service area, including Dhaka and surrounding regions, are likely to face lower-than-normal gas pressure during the three-day period.
“Titas Gas sincerely regrets the temporary inconvenience caused to our valued customers,” the company said.
