The World Bank recently approved a project aimed at helping Bangladesh’s state-owned company Petrobangla to secure LNG supplies.
According to the World Bank, the energy sector security enhancement project, worth $350 million, will “help improve gas supply security by facilitating access to cost-effective financing for Petrobangla.”
The World Bank said the project will utilize an IDA guarantee to mobilize up to $2.1 billion in private capital over seven years for new LNG imports.
Bangladesh currently imports LNG via two FSRU-based facilities, both of which feature Excelerate Energy’s FSRUs.
The 138,000-cbm FSRU Excellence serves Bangladesh’s first LNG import facility, Moheshkhali Floating LNG or MLNG, operated by Petrobangla.
Excelerate’s 138,000-cbm FSRU Summit LNG serves as the second LNG import facility operated by Summit.
