First Gen Corp. is pushing through
with efforts to build its own liquefied natural gas (LNG) facility in Batangas
even as it vies to be part of a planned, state-firm-led, $2-billion project.
The Lopez group company said in a
public presentation its own project will cost an estimated $1 billion, with a
final investment decision to be made by 2019.
“We continue to advance our development
of an LNG terminal to secure fuel supply [for] our four gas [fired]) plants,”
First Gen said.
These assets include the 1,000-MW
Sta. Rita complex, 500-MW San Lorenzo facility, 414-MW San Gabriel plant and
the 97-MW Avion plant—all in Batangas.
Groundwork for the planned
terminal—with a storage capacity of up to 5 million tons per year (mtpa)—is
underway at the FGEN Clean Energy Complex in Batangas.
First Gen said that, so far, it has
completed for the terminal the front-end engineering design as well as early
site works.
